I have started to see some new affirmations on our board. Love it! Keep filling those emotional bank accounts.
The focus this month: Private Victories
The first private victory habit is "Be Proactive." Habit 1: Be Proactive is about taking responsibility for your life. Proactive people recognize that they are "response-able." They don't blame genetics, circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. They know they choose their behavior. Reactive people, on the other hand, are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior. If the weather is good, they feel good. If it isn't, it affects their attitude and performance, and they blame the weather. All of these external forces act as stimuli that we respond to. What lies in your circle of control? What lies in your circle of influence? What is in your circle of concern that you do not have control over? #chooseyourweather
Science class: We have made a recommendation for the open TA position. She will likely not be able to start until October 17th. Therefore, classes who have science next week can split the students among the remaining 5 Habit 7 classes. This is a change from last week in order to preserve planning for all. Thanks for working together as we convene the perfect team to serve our students.
Leave a Legacy: Please submit your Leave a Legacy names here. You should send home the voting directions on Tuesday if you do not do so on Friday. We can extend the classroom voting until October 18th. We'll narrow to the top ten at that time.
Clubs: Please see Mr. Hurdt's email in regards to clubs. The club list can be found here. The spreadsheet to submit your student choices can be found here. Clubs are such an awesome way to broaden our students' horizons.
Calculator training: Please let Susie or me know if you would like a calculator demonstration/lesson in your classroom. This is the time to teach calculator skills that can be reinforced all year long.
Wonders training: Some have asked about getting another round of Wonders training now that you have materials in hand and know more of what to expect. I have requested that training and will let you know when/if it is arranged.
County calendar committee: I am looking for a volunteer to serve on the county calendar committee. If you are interested in having voice in next year's calendar, please let me know.
Y Learning: Is looking for more teachers to serve our 2-5 students. If you are interested, or know someone who might be interested, they can apply here.
Instruction: The Young Author competition is underway. I would really like for all our students to have a chance to participate. The details are located here. The entries are due November 4th.
