The circle
A few minutes on Friday: the leaves added, the stories worth telling, the badges reached. Everyone who did good is named.
The circle is the class's few minutes together at the end of the week. The app writes the page; you read it aloud. Every child who did good is named, and nobody is ranked.
Open it
On the class page, The week's circle. Last week and next week are a tap away, and Print gives you a page to hold.
What is on it
- Leaves this week, and the total for the school year.
- Badges reached: a Leaf, a Flower or a Fruit.
- Harmony week: whether the week has been confirmed yet.
- This week's focus: the act the lessons pointed at.
- The leaves we added: by act, with everyone who did it.
- Stories worth telling: the words you wrote when you recorded, to read aloud.
How to run it
Three or four minutes is enough. Read the leaves by act, say the names, read two or three of the stories in the teacher's words, and name any badge reached. Then confirm the peaceful week if you have not yet, and the week is done.
Why it matters
Recognition is the reward. There is no prize store and no leaderboard; there is the class hearing, on Friday, what good was done among them and by whom.
