Room 6 - FISH Philosophy

The FISH Philosophy is a great approach to school and life in general. It is based around four simple ideas:

PLAY - have fun doing what you do while getting the job done

BE PRESENT - be there in the moment for the person or people you are interacting with. Don't be distracted or ignore others

MAKE THEIR DAY - Do or say something to someone else - let them know how important they are or what a good job they are doing. Ask them if they need help or encourage them positively.

CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE - Sometimes we have no say in what we do, but we can choose how we go about doing it - be positive and it will rub off on others around you :)

  1. Room 6 students are certainly showing that they know how to choose their attitude. You are showing very positive ways to improve your learning. Keep it up!

  4. I liked the story in the FISH philosophy book. It was a very unique way of showing how to involve all of the four key elememts in work and school and make it a fun learning environment. I think Room 6 is a fun and happy environment to learn (and play).
