HUSKY FOCUS
Week of May 10-14
MONDAY QUOTE
This Monday's quote is from author Jon Gordon who wrote the Energy Bus that we used a few years back for an opening activity. As we move toward the end of the year, it's a great reminder to remember the why of what we do. Sometimes when we remember the why, the how is becomes a bit easier.
Collective Commitments: Stage 3
- We will provide opportunities for students to develop academic and life skills necessary to make responsible choices, develop independence, and act respectfully and collaboratively
- We will provide a supportive school atmosphere where everyone feels emotionally, physically, and intellectually safe while acting with integrity, respect, and honesty
- We will make sure to be a voice and advocate for students
- We will treat each student as I would want myself and/or my own child treated
- We will model compassion and enthusiasm everyday to motivate my students
- We will provide positive reinforcement; more than redirecting a student, and on a continuous basis to help reinforce appropriate behaviors
- We will find and focus on the strengths/positives of my students to build a positive atmosphere for learning
