Mrs. Watson and the student council did another fantastic job organizing Wolf night. It's Friday morning of project presentation week, and I'm taking a second to blog in this Zen, calm, quiet space in my classroom. We are partaking in a guided meditation to help us manage the stress that being rock-stars puts on us. The presentations I've watched so far this week have been fantastic. Parents should be proud of the hard work their students are putting in. I know I am! If I haven't said it recently: PARENTS: Thank you for trusting me to teach your children this year. I'm so grateful for having them in my advisory and my world. Each day they remind me how lucky I am to have this job and I know that is largely because of the other people in their lives who love, mentor and parent them. It has been a really busy several weeks at RCAA. We are staying warm and plugging through. Our Avon fundraiser could have gone better, but we did have a few big sellers to carry the rest of our team. Parent teacher conferences went well. For those I have to reschedule, I sent a note home with your student yesterday. I will be doing make-up conferences on Tuesday night.
I'm using this video in advisory today to talk about empathy vs. sympathy. Our students are generally really good at being compassionate, caring human beings. I think it is partly because our school values time to reflect on values like this, and also because we all hold each-other accountable. You can see this modeled if you ask any student in the building how we feel about the phrase "shut-up." Just brace yourself. . . lol. . . Kimberly will be appearing in The Good Person of Sichuan at the BMHS this weekend and next (Click HERE for details).  Hey, I'm vertical by myself! |
