Orchard Ranch Weekly Blog 4.17.23


 (* Indicates the number of weeks it’s been in newsletter.

INFORMATION & ANNOUNCEMENTS:


PLC Wednesday: Progress Report Prep 

Custodial Schedule: 
 


Library: Track A 

Staff Meeting: April 18th 2:35 in the staffroom

Reminder: This is the time of year where weekly expectation revisits are beneficial. We want all kids to end the year strong and successful. They can do that with regular and deliberate conversations. 

PBIS: If you haven't done so, please complete your Recess Rodeo plans.

TOSA Corner: As we are moving into the home stretch for this school year, I tend to start thinking about next year and how I might improve my teaching. I know that sounds crazy, but I think it helps me feel a bit more organized and miss the students a little less.  As you all know, we are onboarding Restorative Practices next year. I think that a Responsive Classroom goes hand in hand with this. That being said, I will try to give you some more information in the next few tosa corners. 

I will start with the Principles and Practices of the responsive classroom for you to check out. I have also started a binder for anyone to go through and use the pages. In the binder, you will find Choices and Think Sheets and Restorative Circles. Please feel free to come by and browse through it anytime.
