OTES TIP #4 -Consider putting up a “Parking Lot” in your room, or just have an area for students to post a post-it as feedback. At the end of the day’s lesson, stop with a few remaining minutes and have the students write one thing they learned and one or two questions they still have on a post-it and have them place it on the “Parking Lot” or in the chosen area, as they leave. Keep a few of these post-its, or take a picture for your evidence binder. This can be used as evidence in the areas of Knowledge of Students, Assessment of Student Learning (student self-assessment).

Joy's Journal
Structure Creates Behavior--
Teachings students the expectations within the walls of your classroom is key for optimal learning. The same is true when it comes to giving optimal respect during an assembly. Please be sure to review the following expectations with your students as we prepare to gather for a very important event tomorrow.
- When dismissed by an administrator, walk in a single file line, quietly to the gym (8th) or Cafetorium (7th)
- Be seated quickly and in the section marked for your team (8th grade only)
- During the assembly, sit quietly, listen and applaud appropriately
- If you have a veteran with us, you will be invited to join him/her during the Armed Forces Anthem
- After the assembly, wait to be dismissed.
Did You Know?
Student and staff are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue to celebrate Veterans' Day tomorrow.
Students will be dismissed by an administrator to the gym (8th) and Cafetorium (7th) around 7:25 am immediately after attendance.
After the assemblies, 8th grade will go to advisory to gather their things, then go to 2nd encore. 7th grade students will be dismissed to their team areas.
Teachers, remember to take your red safety bags with you to the assembly tomorrow. One teacher should walk in the front of your team of students and one in the back of the line. All teachers should sit in the bleachers with students.
Time for Celebration
Have a great week!
The full moon is gone. The hour change is behind us and hopefully the Halloween candy has been eaten!
It's time for a great week of learning!
