Rocketoons Change Classroom Atmosphere

Picture
​We know that the great teachers are the ones who connect with their students.

Many teachers are using Rocketoons to make those connections and to improve the learning atmosphere in their classrooms. Rocketoons start conversations that help:
  • Teachers connect with students
  • Students connect with each other
  • Teachers identify and deal with issues that could be causing disruptions to learning

We hear from teachers every week who love how Rocketoons have helped them connect with their students. One teacher recognized one of her fourth grade students as a potential problem. A loud and aggressive child, he alienated many of his classmates. She used Episode 3: Bullyvision, to start a Cartoonversation on bullying.

Episode 3: Bullyvision Addresses Mean-Spirited Behavior at Recess

(The names in this article have been changed for the sake of the students’ privacy.)
When fourth-grade teacher Mrs. Watkins became aware of a potential bully situation on the playground, she enlisted the help of Rocketoons.

Dealing with mean-spirited behaviors before they become full on bullying situations, saves kids the pain and stress associated with being bullied and also being a bully. Mean-spirited behavior includes when a student aggressively harasses another student. It is possible for mean-spirited behaviors to escalate into full-blown bullying when the behaviors aren’t addressed and appropriately handled. 

​In this case, Mrs. Watkins became aware that one little girl in her class was teasing another girl in a mean-spirited way. The behavior had not been chronic nor was it directed at any other students. She knew a gentle intervention could diffuse a potentially hurtful situation.
