- How does focusing on one positive element discourage negative behaviors?
Behavior Updates from Mr. Samuel
Note regarding our Focus Room and Recess
Continue to tell students that the focus room is a place to focus, not play.
Recess is a place for fun, fresh air and friends.
In order to decrease negative behaviors, we must emphasize positive behaviors.

How to have a positive attitude and grow from failure-- My all time favorite "Meet the Robinsons". This was Growth Mindset before it became the new "thing". Is a great message of how we learn from failure and stay positive in the struggle.
Building Assessment Items:

MAP Testing Folder has been shared out from Mr. Bailey-- begin using the tutorial for the Tools Training as well as the Practice Form (mimics the test) and taking time in class to acclimate them to these as soon as possible.
I would like this to be done daily next week and when we return from Spring Break a minimum of 20 minutes a day.
