Together is Better
Last week I attended the memorial service for Jenny's niece. There were hundreds of people there showing their love and support to Annalee, Dan and their family. I expected to see family and friends and a few co-workers. There were many co-workers and many students in attendance. It was beautiful to see. When we come together and support each other as a team, it makes work a great place to be. ~Audrey
"Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or things we do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet." Simon Sinek from Together is Better
CKH corner!~~ Affirmation reminders from Julie!
Julie reminded us last week of two kinds of affirmations:
Out loud is at the end of class where you can just focus on affirmations (thank yous), or you can do what we saw in the video clip: A-ha (an A-ha moment from that class period), affirmations (a thank you to someone in the same class period), or an apology (to another student or the teacher).
If you choose to do the box on the desk where kids drop off affirmations, please remind students these must be actual affirmations and not just a quick note to friend. I do tell the kids I read all of them before I send them off.
Good things
Thank you for Jordan, Chris and Kim for sharing Tech tools with the staff for PD this week!
