BEHAVIOR AND CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT CORNER: BUILDING EMOTIONAL LITERACY
1. What are the effects of starting the day with three minutes of silence?
2. How does the mood meter give information to both students and teachers?
3. What kinds of self-regulation strategies do students learn?
4. What could these practices do for your classroom? Your students? You as the teacher?
INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES CORNER: CULTIVATING LITERACY AND WORKING WITH STRUGGLING READERS
Give This Kagan Structure a Try This Week -
Timed Pair Share
Description: Timed Pair Share is one of the simplest cooperative learning structures—and one of the most powerful. The teacher states a discussion topic, how students are to pair, how long students will have to share, and selects who will go first. It is perhaps the easiest way to infuse cooperative interaction into just about any point of the lesson. For example, What do you predict this text will be about? Face partners and share for thirty seconds each. Partners with the darkest clothes begin.
When you compare Timed Pair Share to its traditional counterpart—selecting one student to share with the class—its true power is revealed. With Timed Pair Share, half the class is active at any one time, while the other half listens attentively. In the traditional class, only a single student in the whole class is active at any time; the rest of the class may easily tune out. With Timed Pair Share, no students get left behind. Everyone must participate. Students practice speaking and sharing their thinking and opinions in English. They practice listening attentively. A single Timed Pair Share versus selecting one student in the class probably doesn’t add up to much, but when you consider how often teachers ask questions every day, then multiply that by the number of days in the school year, this simple little Structure has the power to dramatically improve language skills.
Variation: Progressive Timed Pair Share. In Progressive Timed Pair Share, students take turns sharing with different partners on the same topic. Each time they share on the topic, the time limit is increased. This gives students the opportunity to start small and work their way up to more elaborated sentences, phrases, and ideas. As they hear ideas and language from their partner, they can incorporate what they’ve heard into their own turn to speak.
We'd Love To Hear How it Goes!! :)

ATTENDANCE REMINDERS
1. Once you mark a student in attendance, IF FOR ANY REASON, it needs to be changed call the office and let Erin or Heather know - they will change it for you. This is VERY important because once Erin runs the report of absentees any changes made by you are not documented.
2. When a student enters your classroom after 8:15 WITHOUT an orange note, please call the office. This means they did not stop by to check in. If you are not sure, double check just to be proactive. We would much rather get a call from you than from an irate or terrified parent that thinks their child may be absent when they are really at school.
3. Get in the habit of double checking before you mark a student absent because when you do an alert is automatically sent to parents. Again, this can be very alarming when they think their child is or should be at school.
4. Beginning today, any attendance mistakes will need to be followed up with a phone call from the classroom teacher apologizing to the parent for the oversight.
YEARBOOK PICTURES NEEDED!
BE SURE TO CHECK FERPA/MEDIA STUDENTS. SEE HEATHER/ERIN IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
