Things That Help or Hinder Our Learning
For one of our beginning-of-the-year class activities, we used Fresh Fish Stinky Fish to identify and discuss the things that help and the thongs that hinder our learning. We included things that make us feel low, impacting how we learn.
Our focus with this task is to ensure we are aware of what we do to have the best possible opportunities at school and beyond.
These are the thoughts we recorded after a Think, Pair, Share activity.


Those are some really positive things to say I don’t like it I love it!!
Don’t be that stinky fish!
This just makes me want to eat fish now.
I really adore the idea of using fish instead of emotions.
