11th+grade

When the students get their licenses, they get to choose a car air freshener. I picked up a bunch on sale at Target.
 * What Erney is doing in her 11th grade advisory--**

I feel like the group ice breakers went well, but that we've not done any getting-to-know-you activities on a small group basis. I made up a chart with student names and a space to write something that they have in common with each member of the advisory. I want the kids to have at least one converstaion with every other member of the group. They will keep the finished copy in their journals, which I store in the classroom. I'll let you know how it goes...

My kids felt like Harriton needs more school spirit. I had them write down all of their school activities (if they didn't have any, I had them write down what they did for RAM period, if they attended dances, or where they worked after school). I compiled a list of all the activities and am asking students to go to at least one that they would not normally attend. I anticipate some (okay, lots of) resistance. If this occurs, I plan to ask them what gives them the right to complain about something if they don't want to put any effort into fixing it. Again, I'll let you know how it goes...
