One of the first activities I wanted the students to do was to work in groups on anchor charts as to what a good classroom looks like, feels like, sounds like, and what it is not. This activity helps them establish a good foundation of expectations for respect. They shared their group anchor charts with the class as a whole to create a master list, and then used their collective findings to come up with non-negotiable "We Will" statements. I had laminated poster board for groups that could not fit around the dry erase tables. The poster board is much harder to clean off, and not quite as efficient for group reflection and sharing. We all much prefer the dry-erase tables. I wish I had it on film the first time I flipped the table into vertical mode so you could hear them say "wow! that's so cool!" Check out the pictures below!
