Kids Deserve It! Chapter Five
Imagine the awesomest thing you can. Who will invent it? One of our students? How will you help them become something no one has ever been before? Have you interacted with your High Five this week? Sent a positive letter to at least one family? In chapter five, Nesloney and Welcome challenge us to make that phonecall, send a postcard, to catch our students being good! Take the time, show you care, share the love and belief in our kids with their families. Give our kids their moment. We may not know what the future looks like, but we have a hand in helping our students create it! I Trust the process. I Trust You. I Trust Us. Do You Trust Us? Our Kids Deserve It!

The First 6 Weeks: Maintenance
The first six weeks of school were focused on establishing rituals and routines for our school. We will continue to teach and practice these behaviors throughout the school year. We also focus on community and relationship building as we know that no significant learning happens without a significant relationship.
Establishing Trust
T Take time to hear their story
R Respect their experiences
U Understand their needs
S Set goals together
T Thoughtful questioning
