ISM Update
Please see our ISM update from our ISM teacher below:
"Hello, Browning families! We have been so busy here in ISM. We are finishing up our month of RESPONSIBILITY. The last few weeks, your students have worked on taking responsibility for
OURSELVES
We are responsible only for ourselves and no one else
We know we can not control anyone else's actions
We give kind (and in class, SILENT) reminders to our friends to do the right thing
We strive to have appropriate responses to others actions
OUR TIME
We pace ourselves to accomplish our tasks on time
We use timers to stay on track and transition when it is time
We work diligently and stay focused
We make time for our family, friends, and a healthy lifestyle
OUR TASKS
We focus on what we NEED before what we WANT
We know our job is to be good students, so we lend our time and attention to schoolwork before playtime
We work hard so we can play hard
OUR THINGS
We stay organized and tidy
We keep our things in their proper place so we don't lose them
We accept responsibility for all lost items
We treat borrowed items with respect and return them in a timely manner and in good condition
Your students are working so hard to take responsibility for themselves and to encourage their classmates to do the same. This really has been a great month of witnessing your students become more responsible, respectful people. 🙂
I am attaching the final SCHOOL COMPACT that our students have written together. They have collectively decided that this is how respect and responsibility look like at Browning.
Thank you for all you do to help your students grown into the amazing people they are!"
PBIS
Students were celebrated with their PBIS ticket pulls with a special parade around the school and a fun assembly. Keep showing your PAWS Browning Bears!
