Here is an anchor chart that we created as a class. We discussed what it means to have self control and different ways to show it.
We read an opinion article about whether or not the Box Top program is good for schools. Because my class won the pizza party out of their entire school, I figured this would be an awesome article for them to write about. They wrote a 5 paragraph essay with an introduction, 3 reasons supporting their opinion, and a conclusion. I then posted them outside the classroom for the school to see once they typed them up!

Here the students individually wrote 3 ways to ignore peer distractions and included drawings of each example.
Here the 4th grade students have gathered around in the library for Black History Month. This is a picture of the principals parents whom volunteered to come in and read the students a book about Black History Month. The story was about the famous Michael Jordan growing up. This promotes respect and sensitivity for all students' backgrounds.
