Relationships, Relationships, Relationships are key to the soul of our DOLPHINSl!!!!
"Kids deserve an excited adult. They need someone who's ready to explore and laugh with them all day - someone who is looking for the magic moments, full of high fives coming down the line with energy radiating all around."
- Adam Welcome "Kids Deserve It"
Daily Learning Intentions...Making the difference to "TRANSFER"
Daily Learning Intentions..
What - is the standard or skill (not worksheet, not test, not book)
Why - is this relevant, why is this important (transfer)?
How - students demonstration of the standard/learning
We can move learning to TRANSFER BY........
Making the WHY more clear to students (real world reasons, not “to make my teacher proud” or “to make my brain smart.”)
Pushing students explain the WHY in their thinking...make them argue their ideas
Becoming more calibrated in planned level of rigor between classes
Use resources from MyPD to extend student thinking?
Connecting learning to other situations to build transferable knowledge
Analyzing, discuss, debate misconceptions
Planning high leverage tasks that allow for discourse and struggle
Creating purposeful groupings of students to tackle high leverage tasks
Continuing to push students thinking through questioning or having students create, analyze, synthesize (as individuals, partners or teams)
Creating more classroom opportunities for debates (i.e. classroom courtroom)

STOIC....Consistency in Building a Community of Kindness in #JROBNATION
Structuring "Kindness to Self"
By now your students have viewed some videos on focus, compassion, and kindness to self. Which videos were you and your students drawn to? Would one of these videos work especially well after recess or lunch transition or at the beginning of 4th period? The next two weeks will be challenging for your students, so structure and transitional support will help maintain focus.
Don't forget to join the Community Kindness Google Classroom and add your own favorite resources.

The flu is going around....ways to PROTECT YOURSELF and YOUR STUDENTS
Action Steps for Teachers to Prevent the Spread of Flu
Take the following steps ALL the time and not only during a flu pandemic to help keep
your students and yourself from getting sick with flu.
1. Educate and encourage students to cover their mouth and nose with a
tissue when they cough or sneeze. Also, provide them with easy access to tissues.
Remind them to cover coughs or sneezes using their elbow instead of their hand
when a tissue is not available.
2. Remind students to practice good hand hygiene and provide the time and
supplies (easy access to running water and soap or alcohol-based hand cleaners) for
them to wash their hands as often as necessary.
3. Be a good role model by practicing good hand hygiene and covering your mouth
and nose when coughing or sneezing.
4. Keep an eye out for sick students and send them to the school health
office for further evaluation. Sick people should stay at home until at least 24
hours after they no longer have a fever or signs of a fever (without the use of feve rreducing
medicine).
5. Clean surfaces and items that are more likely to have frequent hand contact
such as desks, door knobs, keyboards/CHROMEBOOKS, or pens, with cleaning agents that are usually
used in these areas.
6. Teachers should also stay home when sick. Stay home until at least 24 hours
after you no long
