Crazy Doc's rant and raves...
- If you send a student to the focus room please do so with one of the tickets Casey has provided, that way she knows why they are there. If they do not have a ticket they will be sent back to class.
- Also, please work with your class on the cafeteria behavior. Casey is trying new thing to impact the environment and needs your support in doing so. Just thinking the cafeteria is someone else's problem is going to make the problem worse. Fifth grade currently has the worst behavior in the cafeteria by far.

Guided Math Connection
We are so excited to be bringing in Graham Fletcher to provide a numeracy workshop on April 3rd! Some of you may be familiar with Graham’s progression videos for numeracy. This workshop is meant to help teachers visualize the progressions for numeracy in addition and subtraction (K-2) and multiplication and division (3-5) as well as fluency in K-5 in order to better differentiate for students when implementing a workshop model. - Let me know if you are interested. Spots are first come, first served.

From Jessica
Three deep breaths shut off the “fight or flight” system of the brain. This active calming technique is an essential component of emotional health. Teach children to S.T.A.R.: Smile, Take a deep breath And Relax.
S.T.A.R. is one of four core breathing techniques in Conscious Discipline. The other techniques are Drain, Balloon and Pretzel.
