In Tribes during
January, students and teachers will be
discussing the lifeskills of effort,
goal-setting, courage, and flexibility. One
of the first steps in goal setting is
getting organized. Many students need to be
taught step-by-step how to be organized.
This would be a good time to organize a
place at home for homework, library books,
backpacks, etc. Ask them if their desk and
locker is organized. Spend some family time
at home discussing everyone’s goals for this
year. Writing them down and sharing them
with others helps us to be accountable.
I am excited about some projects we will
be starting in 2005.
Peggy Moss and I will be attending a Schools
Attuned program in January. “Attuning” a
student involves addressing an individual’s
neurodevelopmental and academic strengths
and weaknesses in order to contribute to his
or her success. I will also be starting
Second Step: A Violence Prevention Program
with Kindergarten, First, and Second grade
classes. In this curriculum, students will
learn empathy, anger management, and social
problem solving. We will also be starting a
mother/daughter book club for Fifth Graders
to discuss the book Odd Girl Out-The Hidden
Aggression in Girls, by Rachel Simmons. Our
first meeting will be Friday, January 28th
at 8:05. We will have Muffins with Mom,
introduce the book, and dismiss the girls to
class while we discuss the book.
Finally, after focusing on community
service in December, the students at EIS
have voted, and they have chosen to adopt an
animal shelter. We are collecting old
towels, shoe boxes, kitten and puppy food,
shower rings, chew toys, and rawhide bones
for the city animal shelter.
