Mon. Library/Counseling Week: A week
STEM class location: Tech Cafe
Nuts and Bolts Items:
-Hallways: Although we don’t have many, students are quickly learning this is a place where they may be able to get away with more. Please be sure we have teacher presence outside the pods during arrival/dismissal, bathroom/drink breaks, etc.
-Get your announcements added to the Google slides to ensure it gets communicated.
-DRA testing continues this week. Teal team will be doing NWEA science test Mon.-Tues.
-Positive Postcard – Want a great way to celebrate a student accomplishment and notify parents too? This is a template you are welcome to use. Would be a great goal to send at least one a week!
-If your class leaves your team pod, please be sure to take your walkie talkie with you for communication from office (ex. recess, library, outdoor classroom).
Leader in Me Moment:
Our focus this month is on building and maintaining a personal mission statement. This week, we encourage you to look at Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind, The Habit of Personal Vision. The Highly Effective Paradigm is clearly defining a vision and purpose for your life will make all the difference. This week think about the outcomes you’d like for your life and use them to create a Personal Mission Statement.
Here are two areas to think about while building or reassessing your Personal Mission Statement:
1. How will you know that you have:
Improved your health?
Managed a crisis well?
Become an effective teacher/leader?
Become the parent you want to be?
Developed a successful relationship with others?
2. Think about people who have influenced you in your life and the qualities of attributes you admire most in these people.
Record your thoughts in a notebook or journal, so you can use them to build your mission statement by the end of this month.
Teacher Tidbits:
Want some great ideas as you continue to build your class/team community? One of our building goals is to create a sense of belonging with students. Get 5 strategies in this Edutopia article, “Every Student Matters: Cultivating Belonging in the Classroom”.
