Message from Marty
- Which students am I redirecting too often?
- What time of day has the most redirects? (I need to tighten up expectations here.)
- Which gender do I redirect the most?
- What ethnicity do I redirect the most?
- What did our team learn from this activity and what will we do next?
Be prepared with your tally chart and reflection on these questions when she returns on October 7th.
Recess
Our students are sitting in one area longer than we've ever asked them to. It is extremely important that we are going outside for the required recesses that are scheduled so students are able to move and burn off energy.
As we begin to move into colder weather, as a reminder, we go outside unless the wind chill is below 20 degrees. It is based on wind chill, not actual temperature. Again, we will announce from the office when it is inside recess based on the website we monitor. If you do not hear an announcement for inside recess, then you should plan on your class going outside.

Morning Meeting
Please remember that morning meeting starts right after announcements and goes until 8:10. Also, it isn't a time to talk about the schedule of the day or events. While you may briefly prepare them for a change in schedule, it should not be a part of the morning meeting format. It should follow all four morning meeting components, include the curriculum provided, and be centered around building social skills in our classrooms.
Monday - Follow morning meeting components, but for activity, discuss something unique to your room that needs to be reviewed or taught in regards to social skills. If you don't have anything that needs to be reviewed or taught in regards to social skills, then you would do a morning meeting lesson from our shared drive, linked below.
Tuesday - Second Steps Day 1 (This should have started this past week on September 1).
Wednesday - Second Steps Day 2 OR a morning meeting lesson from the shared drive, linked below.
Thursday - Second Steps Day 2 OR a morning meeting lesson from the shared drive, linked below.
Friday - Morning meeting lesson from the shared drive, linked below.
If you have questions or need guidance in any way, please let me know. Again, all lessons and ppts are provided and linked in the button below.
