We have 3rd and 4th finishing the performance task of their math ISAT today. Thank you for helping to keep those hallways quiet. I hear you reminding students and really appreciate the help.
This short article fits very well with Mrs. Jensen's presentation at our staff meeting.

It reminds me about a situation at lunch on Wednesday. I saw a piece of food go flying. I saw one student do it. Several fingers pointed to different kids. I just reminded about the expectations of manners and asked who was going to be responsible for their behavior and have thinking time at the office, to think about the behavior we expect in our lunchroom. Three boys stood up and started walking to the table by the office. Really proud of them! They ate their lunch, we discussed the behavior and expectations, and then out they went to recess to have a fresh start for the rest of the afternoon. Mistakes happen and they are part of learning. Here is the article:
