Overall our academic discourse in mathematics was AMAZING!! We were able to visit 9 classrooms. Thank you Kami, Jennifer, Carole, and Robin for helping us learn more about academic discourse at every staff meeting. We definitely have gone up in our DOK 2 levels and slowly climbing in DOK 3. An area of focus will be how to get students to build on ideas of others and evaluate information presented by connecting, adding evidence, and/or providing a counter example.
We have several students who have food allergies. Every classroom MUST go over proper hand washing after they eat CLICK HERE for more details.
BEHAVIOR IS A MESSAGE (APPELSTEIN, 1998). WHEN CHILDREN AND YOUTH MISBEHAVE, OFTEN IN VERY SERIOUS WAYS, SUCH AS SETTING FIRES, COMMITTING VIOLENT ACTS OF AGGRESSION, OR CUTTING THEMSELVES – IT’S AS IF THERE IS A NEON LIGHT FLASHING OVER THEIR HEADS, ANNOUNCING: I NEED HELP! I NEED HELP! FORTUNATELY, ADULTS CAN RESPOND TO THESE CALLS FOR HELP WITH AN EFFECTIVE, EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY. STRENGTH-BASED PRACTICE IS A PROVEN APPROACH TO GUIDING OFF-TRACK LIVES THAT POSITIVELY TRANSFORMS OUR MOST VULNERABLE CHILDREN.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ABOUT THIS ARTICLE

Choose your attitude:
To actually choose how you respond to life, not just react, you must be intentional. Ask yourself throughout the day, "What is my attitude right now? Is it helping the people who depend on me? Is it helping me to be most effective?" NO EXCUSES!!
Make Their Day: Fill out a good news referral and make a student’s day.
