// Name of activity: //Positive Affirmations //Description of learner:// Lower Primary //Description of activity:// This activity uses the class routines of circle time and post boxes to offer positive affirmations to class members who have displayed a caring attitude or action towards another member of the class. Students choose to offer affirmations verbally or in written form (guiding formats may be used). Verbal affirmations are invited by the teacher during regular circle times. Written affirmations are posted in the students' post boxes and can be posted and collected at any time throughout the week. Teachers can invite written affirmations to be shared in circle times if students choose. Affirmations are modeled by the class teacher to help students learn the routine. Affirmations generally follow the style of "Sarah was caring today because she helped me when I fell off the monkey bars. When she helped me I felt pleased to have her as my friend". Teachers may develop the sophistication of the affirmations through ongoing modeling both verbally and written. // Impact on learners: //This experience helps students to develop an understanding of the effect their choices and actions have on the needs and feelings of others.
