Week of April 3, 2018
Dear Staff,
Let's Have An Awesome Week!
~Katie, Kate, & Barry
E+R=O Week
On Friday, after completing attendance, please distribute nametags to your students and bring them to the common space for our "Owning Your R" assembly. These assemblies will be run by a member of the building R Factor team. They will begin with a speaker and then will move on to break out sessions. Each student will attend four, 15-18 minute sessions. These sessions will focus on students being able to recognize events, responses and outcomes, learning about your 20 square feet, test taking tips and tricks and using RISE to Press Pause. All students will exit their last session and go back to their homeroom. In their homeroom, teachers will give students an E+R=O/Eagles RISE bracelet as a reminder to practice using what they have learned in the coming weeks.
Each homeroom teacher will be given the lesson plan for the breakout session they will run. These will be put in mailboxes late Tuesday along with your E+R=O bracelets. On Thursday you will be given nametags and materials for your sessions. If you have any questions, please email Kate.
*We apologize for not having the link to all videos but are experiencing some technical difficulties. For planning purposes, the longest video is Monday at 5:09.
