• Use that information to decorate the 'Shield' 
• Follow the guidelines on the 'Shield' worksheet  
• You should take your time and do your best. 
• These Shields will hang above your locker for the entire year.
• ***See the examples from last years students for inspiration***


Activity #1
Where's Matt?
• What do the words 'tolerance' & 'intolerance' mean? What about Friendship, trust, and diversity.
• Why is it important to demonstrate tolerance, friendship, trust, and acceptance on a daily basis.
• How can you show these character traits in the classroom.








Key Questions:

• So what did you see in this video?
• How did the video make you feel while you were watching it?
• So the guy in the Videos name is Matt and he's done a few of these videos. Why do you think he does that?
• Where is one of the places that you saw him dance?
• So what I know is that he had a job when he made the first video but then he quit his job after he saved all his money so he could spend the money traveling around the world dancing with all the cultures. What you think of that?
• Do you think people in other countries other than America are different than you? How about the people in this classroom? Do you think we're different?
• Many people say they get emotional. Some people even cry when they watch these videos that Matt makes. Why do you think people react that way?
• Do you think that there is a message that Matt is trying to make by dancing with all the different people and cultures around the world?
• How do you see the themes of Respect, responsibility, integrity, friendship, tolerance, diversity, and acceptance in this video?

Activity #2
Read Calvin Can't Fly

But First... 

• What is a starling?
• Why is it important for birds to learn how to fly?
• What would happen if a bird didn't know how to fly?

And Now... Calvin Can't Fly

• Were the character always respectful?
• How did the characters eventually show respect?
• Were the characters always responsible?
• How did the character ultimately show responsibility?
• Did the characters show integrity?
• How did the characters show integrity in the end?
• How do we see the themes of Tolerance, Friendship, trust, and diversity in the story?
• What do these themes have to do with respect, responsibility, and integrity?

***Keep the lessons you learned from Matt's video & from Calvin Can't Fly in mind. You will use these lessons to create anchor charts to establish our classroom rules tomorrow.

1. Over the Summer

Day 1: 9/4/19 - A Day: First Day of School

Good Morning ALL New 6th Graders,
          Welcome back to school and welcome to 6^th Grade. I hope you all had a wonderful summer vacation. Each day as you enter the room I want you to read the morning message and complete the "Do Now" tasks assigned. I am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you. It is going to be a very exciting year.
Do Now:         
       The first thing I want you to do is to select a seat. Leave all of your supplies in your backpacks. We will take care of them later. Next, pick up a piece of card stock from the music stand and work on creating a name tent for yourself. You may use your own colored pencils or you may borrow from me.  See mine for an example.  Please include 3 pictures that represent you. 

          Take your time on your name tent, but if you finish early please sit quietly while you wait. Homeroom is a time to prepare yourself for the day ahead, and is not to be used as a time to goof around.  I have lots of information to give you today, so hold all your questions and I promise I will address each and every one of them.
                                                      Thank you
                                                      Mr. Trumble
