Describe the restorative circle process (when we wrote on our note cards and shared). Include: how you felt writing your note card, how you felt sharing your note card, how you felt if/when someone shared a note card with you. Writing just felt like writing because I didn’t really have much to write about. It was just like saying a regular sentence except that I was apologizing. It made me feel a little weird, I don’t think any of the note cards actually meant anything except the ones where the teacher did because all of these were forced apologies.

2. Describe how much easier/harder it was to bring the wood in when we were all working together. Include: how did it feel to work together, how were you communicating, how quickly things got done when we worked together. It felt good, I liked the weather not because it was gloomy but because it was so warm and not many people were fighting or arguing like when our class did anything else together. We were communicating well because none of us were yelling at each other, there were a few instances where people weren’t paying attention but other than that it was good. It went by very quickly, I wasn’t surprised at how much we accomplished because I think most of my classmates think we can accomplish a lot more than we do.
