This beautiful classroom rug will serve as a place for us to gather as a classroom community.
We will use this lovely rug to engage in Restorative Justice community circles in order to deepen students' empathy towards one another.
We will use this rug throughout our long days together to get to know one another more deeply. In our community circles, students who have experienced trauma are given the space to share about their feelings, their home lives, and topics that are important to them. Year after year, I have watched circles evolve from a place where students share about simple topics such as their favorite colors to a place where students feel comfortable sharing about deaths in their families or difficulties occurring in their homes.
Students develop trust in these circles and then additionally, my scholars learn to care for their peers who share about difficult topics. Each circle builds students' empathy and encourages true community building for our classroom family.
Engaging in Restorative Justice circles has been transformative for my students and our development of a classroom community every year. I am amazed at the beautiful and thoughtful ways in which my scholars care for their teammates when they leave Room 22!
