For the past few years, we used a common form for families to share information about their children with us. Using a Microsoft Form in Collaboration Mode allows all teachers (lead, associate, specialist) to see the results. This is the link to the Microsoft Form template. Lead teachers, you can "Make a Copy" of this form, then, you can edit it to suit you and share the results.

Changes:

• Specialist schedule for K and 1 updated in afternoon
• Includes Library Times for K-4
• Art schedule updated

Have an idea you want to share? Please do! I'm happy to include it for our team to see!

Reposting this one because there is so much good stuff here! The First Six Weeks of School | Responsive Classroom

1. Create a Safe and Welcoming Environment: Establish a classroom climate where students feel comfortable and valued. Activities that promote trust and collaboration are essential during this time.

2. Set Clear Expectations: Clearly communicate academic and behavioral expectations. This includes discussing classroom rules and routines, which helps students understand what is expected of them.

3. Build Community: Engage students in activities that help them get to know each other and develop a sense of belonging. This can include icebreakers, team-building exercises, and collaborative projects.

4. Introduce Academic Routines: Teach essential academic routines that will support learning throughout the year, such as how to participate in discussions, work in groups, and manage time effectively.

I share my schedule for transparency. I know it can be a bit of a mystery of what Administrators do all day! Let me know if you ever have any questions. If you would like to schedule time to connect, you can use my Booking's Link or check in with Nicole for my availability.
