Twitter Information
I do want to share Chelsea's story she shared with me. She said she was a little nervous about tweeting but was so excited when Dr. Smith retweeted her tweet! Dr. Smith, Susan Silva, Holly Hughes, Rachel Powell, Anne Smith and others love to retweet the great things they see happening.
If you have a twitter account, I will be giving you people to consider following if you are new to Twitter. I use Twitter as my own PLN(personal learning network) I can't even begin to share all that I have learned my Twitter.

Responsibility Challenge
Prepared and Punctual
This week’s challenge is to model Responsibility among staff members and students by being on time! Strive to be on time to work, doing attendance, picking up your students from block time, taking them to lunch, reaching goals, and showing up to meetings prepared and on time. Adults who model being punctual and respecting other people’s time teaches students what it looks like to be dependable.
Demonstrate how you manage time with your students by showing them how you do it! Walk them through how you set an alarm or write it down in a planner or add an event to a calendar. Better yet, have your students help watch the clock for you to ensure you are on time!
