El Dorado Monday Memo
Week 3 September 3rd, 2019
#ToroFamily
Welcome to Week 3! What a great night B2SN was. We had a great turnout and parents were super complementary of everything they heard and saw. I spoke to a bunch of parents who were so impressed with all of your classrooms and what you had to say. We had parents sending us emails and tweets saying how less nervous and how comfortable they now feel after meeting all of you. Thank you for being your awesome selves and for everything you do for our students! I hope you all had a restful 3 day weekend and are ready to get back at it this week.
As we finish out our #First21Days please be sure to continue to review the slides with students especially as we have some this week that cover some vital topics. Also, as Grace reminded us it's important to polish 1-2 procedures an hour. That means that each period we need to be going back over a couple of our classroom/schoolwide routines or procedures and reviewing them with students. Feel free to go back in the #FIrst21Days slidedeck to some of the previous slides to review or to polish those classrooms routines that students may not have down yet. Have a great week and be sure to check below for updates!

Counselor's Corner...
Now that we have been in school for a couple weeks, let's take some time to reflect on the ways you have chosen to be safe.
- How are some ways you can continue to do to be safe at school?
- What unsafe things have you seen a student do at school?
- How have you encouraged your fellow students to be safe?
AVID Weekly...
This Week in AVID September 2, 2019
In continuing with our community building activities for the beginning of school, another AVID strategy is Give One Get One, a collaborative structure intended to encourage critical thinking and it really gets the students moving and talking. GOGO is an interactive method for reviewing content, accessing prior knowledge, or processing newly learned content. HERE are the instructional steps to get you on your way!
