We are nearing the quarter one mark in our school year, friends! You have been faithful, creative, flexible and joy-filled while creating a loving space for each one of your learners! What a joy to hear the stories, journey together to create success and watch you FLOURISH in this calling of growing the newest generation of those who will partner in God's work restoring the Kingdom! This is big stuff, friends! Sleep well and enjoy creation this weekend as you are able!
Student Engagement
One of the critical elements in a highly effective lesson is student engagement. As you heard from Doug earlier this year, student engagement will be one of the areas we'll focus on this school year. Many of you already employ MANY creative and high-energy strategies to keep your students actively engaged. Before we begin looking for these strategies in documented walk throughs this year, take a peek at this helpful video that happens to be linked with PBIS (because we all know that when students are engaged in learning they are less likely to engage in behavior issues...typically) It's a feature length film so please don't feel like you need to make the time to view the whole lesson. The helpful components and model lesson begins around 7:21
P/T Conferences
Because children are not in attendance during parent/teacher conferences and the vaccine IS available for adults, we are not going to require masks during parent/teacher conferences on our parents. Let them come as they do. You are able to mask per your comfort in these conversations. Please see me if you have questions regarding this announcement.
