AAYMPI - Positive Phone Calls and Vocabulary
Great Job so far - this is the final push!! We are up to 213 Positive Phone calls home (on the Google Drive). We are at 55.2%! If you have some of your phone calls in Excel, please send what you have to Jeff or I, so we can update the Google Drive. The deadline set for our AA male calls is December 3rd so if you haven't completed your calls, please do so no later than the end of this week. Once this session is complete, we will continue with making positive phone calls to all students.
**Remember to review the list of 1st Session Skill Center students for your 3rd hour students and give them a call as well. I have re-sent the list via email.
WoW Vocabulary Words for December:
We have heard from several teachers, that although they thought these words were commonplace words for students, they were surprised that many students did not know definitions/meanings of these words. The words were taken from Marzano's Words for the Common Core, so it is critical that we work on these not only in advisory, but across the curriculum as well.
