A Peek at the Week
September 8, 2018
Our Rock Your School Day is right around the corner. The idea behind this day is summed up below:
If you don't have an idea for a lesson and/or a flip, remember to join the GYTO Facebook group. They have running threads by grade level of ideas for this day. Also, don't forget that you have $200 to spend towards this day if needed.
We are in the process of planning our idea. We are going to use this day to kick off our house system. Matt has created a graphic for our idea. I am including it below. :-) It is going to be a fun and exciting day for our school!
Classroom and Hallway Greeters
This week, we will continue to practice Custom #2 but add in Custom #1 with the handshake. I really believe it is such an important life skill to be able to greet others with a strong handshake, look them in the eye, and carry on a conversation. Please take some time this week to show students how to properly shake hands. Finally, please begin to look for a classroom greeter and a hallway greeter from your classes. These students will get up and greet anyone entering your classroom throughout the day and the hallway greeter will greet others in the hallway. These students can change throughout the year to give others the opportunity to practice their skills. I will ask for these names in a couple of weeks so that we can recognize them as well. Let's teach our students these skills that will help them the rest of their lives!
