WELCOME TO QUARTER 2 PIRATES
CELEBRATE ADVISORY NAMES & MISSIONS
CELEBRATE BULLETIN BOARDS & STUDENT CELEBRATIONS
Consider reflecting on your walls:
- What do your classroom walls say about our students?
- Do the walls share what you'd want them to say about our students?
Consider some agreements we've reviewed in the past when creating a wall space:
- If you're going for student celebration or recognition of work, make sure to label what it's for! Anyone viewing, including the students, want to know what skill or knowledge is being highlighted and how it relates to content?
- Keep it classy! Minimalist and to the point with labels and borders help keep things organized. Clutter and too much information is sometimes a deterrent to check things out further and/or can end up being an unintended distraction.
- Keep it current! It's so hard to keep up sometimes, but being timely with recognition is important.
Explode!
Proactive Students!
Advisory Student Highlight!
