Starting the Year off Right: Relationships and Expectations
Beginning 2016 Teaching our Expectations: We will re-teach and re-view our School Wide Expectations and what it looks like as we usher in 2016! Ensuring our Dragon Expectations are clear Team Accountability has worked tirelessly to craft lessons on what it looks like in the classroom. Additionally, we will be practicing our Safe Spot and Buddy Room Expectations. Don't forget to reinforce "what it looks like" in the hallway, in the cafeteria, at recess, and on the bus.
We will begin CELEBRATING THE POSITIVE In 2016! So excited to be looking to Positive Referrals! The details are being crafted with powerful grade level discussions but we are looking to kick these off after our AMAZING Schoolwide Teaching of our Expectations during January 5-8. We will say "what it looks like."
No need to input electronically!We are looking at creating CARBONS that you can turn in
to the office with the student! We will post one on a wall and the other will go home with the student!
