When class started this morning, we had to answer the question “Is it important for teachers to establish a positive learning environment?” We had a class discussion about the question, and everyone agreed it was indeed important for teachers to establish a positive learning environment. As a form of a KWL chart, we wrote on the board “A great teacher is….” to identify what qualities make a great teacher. Some answers from the class were: good sense of humor, goes the extra mile, and does not give up on students. We will do this again at the end of the semester to see how our answers change. Before we began our lesson, Mrs. Sutusky told us the history of quilting. At first, we were clueless about the relevance of quilting but we soon found out. We each created a personal quilt square with different criteria for each square. When we finally put together our quilt squares, we were each represented on the quilt in a different way.

This was really fun to do in class as we learned about our own self-esteem.
