Bully Prevention Month
All students K-12 will be getting a Bully Prevention Bookmark in October. To raise awareness for Bully Prevention month, there is a link below to 4 quick, one-minute videos and questions that you can discuss with your class. Please do this each Wednesday in October when we also encourage everyone to wear Orange. It's a good reminder to share with students!

Monday Motivation
Are you dreaming BIG enough?
What is your dream? What is on your bucket list? Travel to India and watch the sunset over Taj Mahal? Learn a new language? Write a children’s book? Dreams are important to have. They instill hope and promise in us. Dream big.Don’t settle for the norm if you want more. Big things can and do happen to people who have the courage to go after them. The world needs more people like you who dream big and achieve big things. Always remember every great achievement began in the mind of just one person. That one person dared to dream. They believed in the impossible. Just ask yourself “What if?” What if, I’m that one person. Dream of the all possibilities for yourself.
Are you dreaming big enough?
Try it Out!!
Introducing Feel Good Friday from Thrilled Teaching Third!
"A great way to create classroom community is to get students to recognize good qualities in their classmates. Every Friday, students choose a name at random from the white board (so they aren’t just choosing their friends) and think of something nice to say about that person. We discuss during our morning meeting and students get to keep their sticky note with positive words on it. It really brightens their day."
