The ambassador position sounds like it would fit perfectly into LIM and 7 Habits. <br /><br />Amanda<br /><a href="%E2%80%9Dwww.theteachingthief.blogspot.com%22" rel="nofollow">The Teaching Thief</a>Amanda Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584912126047807038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456330550970221057.post-47056473297150958442012-07-19T19:22:11.580-07:002012-07-19T19:22:11.580-07:00I teach 4th grade and every student has a job whic...I teach 4th grade and every student has a job which we rotate weekly. The job we have which is similar to ambassador is greeter. Not only does that person greet people at the door they also answer the phone when a call is pushed into the classroom. Of course they begin the greeting with "Student speaking...." since sometimes teachers start right into their dialogue. lol. Other jobs we have include photographer who takes pictures weekly of students working. When downloaded or printed they have to justify why they took the picture and over the years I have incorporated the rule that the subject cannot be looking at the camera to cut down on cheesy photos. I use these picture for an end of year slideshow I give the students as well as a tool to teach them about perspectives.There are 32 jobs to choose from weekly. Students names are randomly picked and they choose a job they haven't had before and so forth until everyone has a new job each week.Dennisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390360755594405897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456330550970221057.post-49222505558533310482012-07-19T16:40:17.467-07:002012-07-19T16:40:17.467-07:00I LOVE the ambassador idea!

This way that person is at the beginning of a line when we move to another class, to lunch, etc. Then the next week it is the next student in line and the helper from the week before goes to the back of the line. I teach 4th grade so I don't think it's necessary to switch helpers more often than once a week.<br /><br />PatPat's Paper Passionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15839409526831785542noreply@blogger.com
