The personalities in my classroom are all over the place this year. I had been warned previously by other teachers that the students that I was receiving had personality conflicts. That is a mild way to put it.
I have tried some team building activities in my classroom, but they insist on fighting or complaining about each other. The students are 4-5 grade. They really do not see the need to get along and they are creating havoc in the classroom everyday. It is like putting out a million little fires a day.
Is there a way to help the students recognize in a kind way that we are all in this together and the better we work together, the better our year will be.
I don't expect a utopian society, but I would like a little civil behavior. Please help!

The students already where uniforms so this is not an issue.
I don't think it is that they don't think that I am a strong leader, they just don't like each other and they have conflicts in whatever they are doing whether they are "having fun" or not.
