PBIS
This video is 9 minutes but explains the framework. As I explained at the staff meeting, we are doing part of PBIS with the PAWS, but we have gaps that could make a big impact. Direct lessons, common to all students, about our expectations would be very beneficial.
Please sign up on the sign up sheet on my door if you are interested in being a part of this team.

Volunteer Appreciation Week
Kidblog
First of all, why have your students blog? Readers Notebooks certainly have their place, but, if they write in a notebook, you are the only one to respond. Each student writes one time, and you respond once to each student. If you have 28 students, you write 28 entries, and they only wrote one entry. However, with blogging, you can require students to write their entry and respond to a set number of classmate's entries. They might write 8 times instead of only once.
Here is just one example of a class that uses Kidblog. I will attach the class page, and then a few individual entries. I could go on and on, I love the voice that is heard in the blogs. It is apparent that some of the entries are assigned topics, but some seem to be done by the students on their own. It is authentic writing for an audience. Is it perfect? No. Is it real writing? Yes! Take a look.
If you would like help setting this up, let me know. We have a few classes on KidBlog. If your class is using it, please let me know. I would like to comment on their blogs!
