Friday Focus
Moreau Heights Elementary
Our Mission
Be a Merchant of Hope
PBS lesson
Our behavior data shows the greatest need is student defiance. Our lessons over the quarter will focus on skills that support student's following adult directions, even when it's hard.
The PBS lesson focus this week is I can follow a direction, even if I don't want to.
Second Steps
All grade levels, if on schedule, have finished all lessons in the sequence. This would be a great time to revisit lessons that are topics your students are still struggling with.
Great Ideas!
Celebrate the Positive!
Have you kept an eye out for the positive choices by students? Have you written a positive referral to recognize a student doing a great job?

Dr. Day's Update
What makes it possible for people who might seem ordinary to achieve great things? The answer is passion. Nothing can take the place of passion in life.
Here are four truths about passion and what it can do for you.
Passion is the first step to achievement: Your desire determines your destiny. It’s true in any field: weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire creates little heat. The stronger your fire, the greater the desire - and the greater the potential.
Passion increases your willpower: There is no substitute for passion. It is fuel for the will. If you want anything badly enough, you can find the willpower to achieve it. The only way to have that kind of desire is to develop passion.
Passion changes you: If you follow your passion - instead of others’ perceptions - you can’t help becoming a more dedicated, productive person. And that increases your ability to impact others. In the end, your passion will have more influence than your personality.
Passion makes the impossible possible: Human beings are so made that whenever anything fires the soul, impossibilities vanish. A fire in the heart lifts everything in your life. That’s why passionate people are so effective. A person with great passion and few skills always outperforms a person with great skills and no passion.
How can you find or rekindle your passion for these last few days of school in order to increase your intensity for success in yourself and your students?
