Friday Focus
Moreau Heights Elementary
September 22
Moreau Heights is a collaborative community focused on student growth with a commitment to excellence.
PBS lesson
Our PBS lesson for the week will focus on playground expectations.
We will also use our Second Steps lessons to focus on LISTENING. You currently have 1 set of "hands on" resources to share across your grade level. I will be purchasing 1 online license for each grade level. (If we find that the online resource has all the pieces we need, I will order another so that we have online and "hands on" resources to cover all grade level classrooms.)
"The goal is for adults to empower children to manage themselves. This can only occur if they learn to be aware of their emotions, regulate them and utilize their internal wisdom to guide their behavior"
Conscious Discipline - How Conscious Discipline Can Impact Your Classroom
The videos this week are more on the "mind shift" we make with Conscious Discipline.
The first video is a teacher's testimonial about how Conscious Discipline impacted his teaching, his classroom/students, and him as a person.
The second video is a testimonial from a teacher about the academic gains made by her students when she used Conscious Discipline.
The last videos are meant to highlight a few CD practices.

iReady Data Snapshot
Attendance Concerns
PLEASE pay attention when marking attendance to make sure that you are marking the correct child. We are still having teacher mark the incorrect child and are making calls telling parents their child isn't here, when he/she is present. You can imagine this causes concern on the part of the parent! Thank you for watching this to help Jeanne and our parents!
Be Kind to Neighbors!
On Thursday, they will place their trash cans at the curb between the driveway of the white house and the sidewalk of the red house. There will be 4 of them and they need space between the trash "cans" so that the trash truck can pick them up to be dumped. DO NOT MOVE THEIR TRASH CANS. We are wanting to work with our neighbors!
Reminders!
1. Teams complete a Teamwork Tuesday form when they meet for collaboration on Tuesdays. This form can be found on the "Important Links" document in your MH 2017-18 docs Google Folder.
1. We greet students at the door each morning, or for each class. Can you incorporate different greetings from our Conscious Discipline learning into your greetings?
2. We record minors on the data sheets to reflect the reteaching or additional practice we provide as learning opportunities for students. Minor sheets are turned in to Jeanne each week for entry to inform our Tier 2 work and tracking impact of interventions.
3. Grades/scores are entered into Infinite Campus grade book by Tuesday of each week.
Shout Outs!
* Shout out to our School Culture team for keeping us "rocking" with our pop rocks for paying social dues AND for organizing an AWESOME lunch for Monday.
