Our 4th grade Life Skills lessons continued with a lesson on using your social filter, a favorite topic of mine. We started with a chat on what a filter is; most of my students didn’t know what this was. Those that did were able to tie it to a filter in fish tank. I asked them to guess how a filter might be related to THINKing before we speak. So many students were able to make this connection! My heart is always warmed in these moments.
The students then worked in small groups to read situations and thoughts and sort them into “Go ahead, say it out loud!”, “Keep it in your head!”, and “Filter it! (Say it in a more polite and respectful way.”) This was meant to be more of a reinforcement of the social filter concept, but I found there were moments where this was a challenge to the students, especially in finding ways to say unkind thoughts more respectfully.
Once all the groups are done, we join together on the rug again. I read through each card and the student use hand motions to show me their responses. Whenever students indicated they’d filter it into something nicer, I asked them to share out on their idea.

Then I sent them back to their desks and gave each student a situation/thought card template and asked them to come up with their own example and write their “answer” (say it or filter it) on the back. These were great! Not only did they come up with some good ideas, but this sort of an exit ticket gives me more material for future years’ lessons.
(*Note: I used to have some examples of student exit tickets that I showed here. I’m working to make sure I’m FERPA compliant, which means not showing student handwriting, so I’ve since removed them.*)
**Next year, I may use this as my intro lesson (or second lesson) on THINK. While it’s somewhat specific to rude thoughts, I think it introduces the broader idea that we should think about things before we say them out loud.

***This went great in 4 out of my 5 homerooms. In my “roughest” room, this wasn’t ideal- they laughed way too hard about all the rude comments in the book. While they grasped the concepts perfectly, this book almost seemed to feed into their inclinations to “burn” one another. I think this book may not be the best fit in a classroom where many of the students are already saying unkind things to/about others as a way to be funny – unless you think they’ll respond to a brief discussion at the beginning about how the story can be humorous but they should remember how hurtful the words can be as well.The cabin air filter is an essential component of a vehicle as it protects the passengers from contaminants in the air they breathe. The cabin filter’s role is to remove harmful pollutants, including pollen and dust, from the air circulating inside the car.
This filter is often located behind the glove box and cleans the air as it moves through the vehicle's HVAC system. If you suddenly notice that your car has an unpleasant odor or the airflow has decreased, consider replacing the cabin filter to give the system, and yourself, a breath of fresh air. It also affects the air conditioning system when it becomes too dirty or clogged; this will cause the system to either blow insufficient air than usual or even emit strange odors. This is why the cabin filter should be monitored and replaced regularly.
It is important to note that air is constantly going through the cabin filter whether the air-con system is in recirculating mode or pulling in fresh air from the outside. Exposure to the elements causes the filter to become dirty and clogged. The main culprit is dust and pet hair. One of the ways to tell that your car’s air filter is clogged is if you suddenly notice a decrease in the air quality or a reduction in air flow going through the vents.

Most car manufacturers recommend replacing it annually, which can vary depending on the driving environment. Urban areas typically have poor air quality with constant heavy traffic. A few warning signs it needs replacing include lasting foul odors, reduced airflow, and unusual noises from the air-con system. But even if there are no symptoms, check or, better yet, replace the cabin filter once a year to keep the air-con system running correctly. Negligence will cause dirty air to enter the cabin, making the air-con unit work harder than necessary. Something that may lead to expensive repairs like a burnt motor in the A/C or climate control system.
Gaining access to the cabin filter typically entails removing the glovebox and detaching the cabin filter plate cover. Remove the cabin filter by hand and replace it with a new one. Please note and follow the directional up or down symbols printed on the filter before putting its slot. The owner’s manual should provide all the necessary info about where the cabin filter is located and how to remove and replace the panel.
Not only will this help ensure clean air quality inside your car, but it will also help prolong the cabin air filter's service life as it operates in a clean environment.
