The Sailor Compass
November 27, 2017
TO DO LIST:
- Set up a time this week to visit with me with your grade level partner(s) to discuss student behaviors that are affecting classroom instruction. Our goal will be to leave with a plan! (I have met with Mrs. Beveridge, Mrs. Hawks & Mrs. Hopping)
- Principal Monthly Read Aloud for December - Schedule a time for me to read to your class!
- Please talk to your students about our new Student of the Month recognition this week. Students who do not have documentation in SWIS for the month of November will be entered into a drawing. We will draw (2) students per classroom. Students will be recognized by having their names announced over the intercom, group photo on my office window, eating in the Board Room and a small "treat" at lunch!

SETTING & BREAKING GOALS

Data Team Meeting (Board Room)
- Data Team for 3-4 (Monday, November 27th @ 3:45)
MISSION MONDAY:
- KINDNESS REVOLUTION - CHOOSE TO BE KIND! Focus on doing something kind for someone else. Be on the watch for something you could do. This can be something small that will make a difference for someone else. Make a list of the things you can to do be KIND!
- Let's get this started.....If an adult observes someone doing something kind, you can give the student a new KINDNESS REVOLUTION bracelet. When the child with the bracelet observes something kind, they give the bracelet to that student and describe the "kind" behavior that they observed. Keep the bracelets moving because there are plenty of bracelets to go around. CHOOSE KINDNESS at home, school and in your community!
PBIS focus: CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS
- Review your CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS with your students!
- Discuss WHY following the expectations is important.
- How does it help them? their classmates? staff members?
- Model & Roleplay with your students
EDI FOCUS:
- Generate a question
- Allow time for students to process & answer question
- Cover & Hover

- Scan student responses to check if all students are correct or if more teaching is necessary
