FISH! For Schools Classroom Experience 3-5

When students and teachers discover common values, they create uncommonly successful classrooms.

The Classroom Experience provides interactive experiences designed to help students help you to build a more respectful, focused and fun learning environment.

This research-based approach includes age-appropriate activities, discussion starters and exercises to help teachers and students:

• Forge caring, encouraging relationships.
• Build a community based on common language and inclusive behaviour.
• Improve character.
• Reduce conflict and, when it occurs, resolve it.
• Enhance personal responsibility for behavior and effort.

Each Classroom Experience comes with a guide; Student FISH!, a video to help students transfer the lessons of the original FISH! film to their own lives; Classroom Cards that give students the chance to practice what they’ve learned; a Pete The Perch for fun; and a poster to reinforce the four FISH! practices.

These tools are easy to integrate into your existing curriculum. Instead of adding to your already busy plate, they are designed to support an environment that gives you more time for teaching and gives students more time for learning.

The Grades 3-5 Classroom Experience is designed to let students help transform their class culture by reinforcing positive behavior support and uses inquiry-based methods. FISH! For Schools will help your students become better learners and citizens.  With students growing independence and the ability to observe the world, the activities and extensions help learners hypothesize ways to improve the school experience with others – and carry out original experiments to test their hypotheses – helping to build self-confidence and learning about the impact they can have on their own environment.
