Hot Seat

Each Friday, my class and I have a class meeting, so see how we are doing and to solve any problems that might be happening that need straightening out. After our meeting, we do an activity I like to call "Hot Seat." I call one student into the center of the circle, and each classmate tells that student one thing that they like about the student in the middle. As I introduce this activity to the students, we make sure we know the difference between appropriate and inappropriate comments. My students always look forward to class meeting, and especially enjoy being in the Hot Seat!
