Educator Resources & Activities
Activity Suggestion:
STARTING THE DAY OUT RIGHT!
The things our students have to deal with outside of the classroom can be overwhelming! We understand that our students are more than academic beings and have social and emotional needs as well. Each morning we set aside the first 30 minutes of every day for “Climate Time.” Each room holds a class meeting to discuss a variety of issues that may be on the students’ minds. If need be, staff seek solutions, resolve issues, or simply give a caring ear to the concerns of the day. This allows students to give their full attention to their academics for the remainder of the day.
