- Skipping- 63

- Cell Phone Violations-45

The most significant concern, as represented by the data this month, is the number of referrals for skipping.
A few tips to keep students engaged and wanting to go/ stay in class:
- Start class with a warm up and bell ringer.
- Use movements to keep kids focused
- Teach students how to collaborate before expecting success
- Provide choice, multiple opportunities to respond, and behavior- specific praise throughout the class period
- Use signaling to allow everyone to answer your questions.
- RELEVANCY MATTERS- Make lessons relevant to students' lives or interests
