Rock Your School Like a Pirate Day!
Thank you for taking the time to make the day special for our students. Every child I talked to throughout the day was loving it! School should be memorable and things like this will not be forgotten.
Photo Booth
Kids loved the photo booth! Please use it when you have a need. We are storing it in Shauni's closet on the stage. It's super easy to use and set up. I'm happy to help you anytime. I uploaded the pics in an iCloud Shared File. If you would like an invitation to the folder, please let me know.
Help for your Tough Kids
Click on the link below for ideas to help with your difficult kids. A great guideline we heard the other day: Don't do an intervention that gives students a way out of changing the behavior you want to change. If you want the child to speak, for example, don’t give them cards that let them get out of speaking.
