October is the single best time to re-anchor your culture and remind your class that every single student matters.
That’s why "The Common Thread" by our very own Empowered teacher - Tene Manning - is our October Activity of the Month!
This experiential activity uses a simple ball of yarn and Principle-based prompts to create a literal, visual web of connection across your room. As your students share experiences tied to Opportunity, Knowledge, and Win-Win Focus, they see firsthand that a strong classroom community depends on everyone staying connected and holding up their piece.
The best part? It’s 100% FREE on the Empowered Hub.
If you’re having some mid-semester friction, let’s turn it into deep classroom culture.
