How do your students learn best?
As you continue to create engaging and meaningful lessons/activities for your students, are you keeping in mind their different learning styles?
Remember that all of our students are different and learn best in many different ways. Here is an article and video for a quick refresh on the different learning styles that our students use while in our classrooms.

When is the last time that you included motion in your lessons? When is the last time that you included videos in your lesson or visually demonstrated something? Continue to push yourself as an educator to meet your students needs.
Honors Breakfast Schedule
This week we will be having our 7th and 8th grade honor breakfast. 7th grade will be on Wednesday and 8th grade will be on Thursday. Just a reminder that we will switch NE and 1st period on these days.
Goals and Rewards
Continue to meet with students to discuss their 2nd nine week grades and goals during NE. Set their goals for 3rd nine weeks and fill out the goal tracking sheet on Sharepoint.
Career Explorer
Lisa will be sending out videos on students starting their career explorer and inventory items for this school year. We have done this the past several years and is a counselor standard that we need to make sure gets completed. Lisa will make videos all along the way but you still need to make sure you are working with your students and guiding them to complete this task.
This is a great way to continue to make those connections and build relationships with your students.
Collaboration
We will be in the library as a staff tomorrow morning. I have a few things to go over for the staff and then you will have time to meet with your team to discuss the upcoming MLK Day of Service ideas.
If you're out, turn it out
Keep that saying in mind with your energy consumption. If you are out of your room, turn the lights off. Before you leave each evening take a look around and turn off power strips, TVs, monitors, etc...
