FSI- TEAM
Elementary
Weekly Info.
This week, FSI will celebrate NSCW! Below is a link to the dance that you can participate in learning, as well as some more information on how to promote going to a great school (FSI) and getting an awesome education by AWESOME teachers. A fun activity that I came across is that you could have students write thank you letters to their parents for sending them to FSI and explaining what/why they enjoy it so much.
There will be a dance contest Thursday and Friday, to the NSCW theme song. Please sign up in the teacher's lounge if your class plans on participating.
Grandparents Day
Below is a link to a great website to help with ideas for grandparents day. (ex. present them with cards, students read poems to them, prepare and sing a song, make a craft with them, etc.) Grandparents have been invited to come to your classrooms at 2:30 on Friday, Jan. 29. I've already seen some great ideas in the works!
Early Release
Below is the schedule for Wednesday:
2:15-2:45- Team Meetings (cafeteria)
2:45-3:45- Work time (classrooms)

Star testing should be finished by the end of this week, as well. Please check your scores, to make sure all students have tested.

TEACH LIKE A CHAMPION!
Did you try this last week? No? Try it this week, then!
Are you using Positive Framing? (take the time to reflect on how you discipline)
If so, you are...
- making interventions to correct student behavior in a positive and constructive way.
- "disciplining" students in the sense of teaching them the right way to do things.
- you are teaching them in an optimistic, upbeat, confident manner.
(refer back to last weeks news letter for the 6 rules of positive framing)
*Interventions will be far more effective if they are framed positively.
