Message from the Boss...
Instructional Days left: 23
Let's make every day count. An engaged student is less likely to be a discipline problem. Change your perception: How would you like for your class to be structured if you were the student in the seat? Make the most of every day!
BAM! Do you have a BAM attitude? Do you have a BAM classroom? (Great wisdom from Principal Kalefe)
An extraordinary classroom is a BAM classroom. That is a classroom that speaks and communicates. It is the class that invites the students to come inside because great things are happening inside. BAM! The teacher is greeting the students and welcoming them into the room. The student knows that they are in a special place where they can be themselves and learn all they can learn. The teacher has paid attention to what the students will feel, hear and experience while in that room. There is an emphasis on acknowledging, celebrating and recognizing every student in the classroom. BAM! All challenges that a student may feel outside of the classroom may be checked at the door. The student feels special and feels as if they can SOAR in your classroom! BAM! How can you make your students feel this way?
Your mindset and attitude greatly influences your BAM classroom. How do you walk into your classroom? Are you there to win? Do your students feel your enthusiasm or are you just counting down the days? Do you want to win the game? Your competition in your classroom is not your students, but it is the poor attitudes that your students may bring to class? How can your students SOAR if the attitude of the room is toxic? Instead, make believers out of your students. Give them a sense of purpose. Lead them to a vision of excellence. Demonstrate your compassion for them. Respect them. Be fair with them. Even though we only have 23 instructional days left...I don't see it as only 23 days, but....
BAM! - We still have some great days ahead.... Let's make them memorable!
