End of Year Behavior~Practice the Three R's!!!
As the end of the year approaches it is imperative to Review, Reiterate and Reinforce your criteria and expectations for behavior in the hallway, cafeteria, during transitions, in the bathroom, etc. Students need structure and reminders. If you invest 15-20 minutes of a restorative circle, you might gain a lot of instructional time for your students. This is a great way to resolve conflict, understand how your students are feeling on that particular morning, build community in your classroom, and to let your students know that every day is a new day! Office referrals should not increase at the end of the year if you take the time to do this in your classroom. Feel free to invite one of the admin or counselors to listen to student concerns.
Guest Readers/Reading Marathon Days
Lee Luau~Friday, May 18th (5-7)
Two meetings were held this week to welcome parents to be part of the planning and organization for our Luau. We had a good turnout with very engaged parents. Linda Godoy wants to use an online system to ask parents to sign up to work a booth. This means, you don't need to ask parents to work YOUR booth.....just promote the Sign Up Genius and get parents to sign up to any booth of their choice. More booths will be added this year!
We will also have a Sponsorship/Donor Letter. Each one you will get THREE letters to distribute to your "connections." It will make more sense once you read it. If you get three donations/sponsors you will not need to attend that evening. More clarification soon....yes, there will be a minimum. :0)
The expectation is that all staff attend. If this is your first year, this is a fun evening at Lee!!!
Marvelous May
Thank you to everyone who showed up for the "staff appreciation meeting" on Monday. We had great ideas and suggestions. Be on the lookout for emails from our peeps with activities that will help us get through the month of May and make it a Marvelous month!
