After Break
We have just come off of a much needed 16 day winter break. We spent time with loved ones and friends, slept in, worked out, shopped, worked out, worked, stayed in our pajamas all day, laughed, made holiday treats, traveled, read books............................................
Please remember that not all of our students had the opportunity to do all the wonderfully rejuvenating things that we did. They will be excited to see you! They will likely be looking for attention and love. They will likely need to be retaught your structures and routines. Please remember this as you think about your classroom activities during these first couple of days.
Lexia Update
For those students for whom we are having trouble meeting minutes......maybe we switch the conversation to levels completed versus time spent. Maybe that switch in focus helps make the task feel more purposeful and manageable rather than just meeting a time goal.
Remember that there are a number of great skill builders that can be used for your SGSBI and/or your Must Dos. This would be a differentiated piece for students as well.
PBIS corner
Winter Bootcamp Jan. 8th-9th-10th--schedules will go out Monday in your email. A generic schedule can be found within your Outlook invite
Riverside will have a team headed to Tier 3 training starting this month. We are excited to take this next step!
Please remember to place any behavior trackers that you fill out for a student in another classroom in that teacher's mailbox first so they are aware of the infraction and can address it if needed. They will then move the form to my mailbox.
Zones
This could also be used as a daily check in with students. They could fill out a sticky note as a bell ringer activity and would be a way for teachers to know who they need to for sure check in with at some point in the day.
