I need to start Mindful minute. I do not like doing circles because my students disrespectful.

# data[].attributes.headline
I am doing a daily check in. I have a question on the board and they write their answer on a roster at the front. This helps with checking in with each student each day.

The only thing I am having trouble with is fitting all of the activities into the time frame. Adjustments have been due to not having enough time.

Not enough time

# data[].attributes.body
definitely takes the most time and effort, especially with 6th graders where a lot of my students are not comfortable speaking in front of class and sharing their thoughts

# data[].attributes.body
Really like the once a week advisory

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for the scope & sequence

Students can’t do the “how to choose your high school” project if they don’t know of more than one or two high schools. Help them research different schools first.

Really enjoying advisory this year, schedule is better!

The way the advisory curriculum has been presented has been very manageable and realistic.

All the support and prep for us has been EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you for putting in all that work!!

I think the provided slides make a good skeleton, but for a lot of students, they need the tasks broken into more discrete chunks and that is extra work...

Scope and sequence.

Follow it but trying to get to know 6th grade students more as individuals before going into roles in classrooms. This has been so helpful!!!!

They were really into the journaling and the mindful minute helps them recenter themselves.

I'm giving my advisory a circle grade every week (1 point for every circle expectation they follow), when they hit 20 points I'm going to bring them in a snack.

Pick something you are stoked about and do a lesson on it for the kids

I' m staying somewhat close but I have had two presentations so I have  "lost" 2 two periods. Still trying to collect papers. Have a lot of papers to distribute.

Use advisory as a place to gain info about Denman as a whole... I love to talk to kids about if they feel like their teachers are fair, if they have a trusted adult they could go to with problems etc...

It can be hard with seeing them once a week, so stick to your classroom routines, procedures, and keep spending time building connections. It will be better in the end. :)

6th grade curriculum is great but started a little fast maybe plan a little less for first few weeks to get acclimated and get to know you first

Children are into the tasks, and they were really excited to get the notebooks.

# data[].attributes.body
The circle and the PBL SEL have been the most challenging. Students struggle the most with one mic in the circle and some students are not very motivated during project time (but its a work in progress)

# data[].attributes.body
- still getting used to the circles

# data[].attributes.body
Only because of specific students who won't take it seriously.

We are doing things but not in the same order. We are focussing more on the culture and identities of the students in homeroom

Pretty well. I have been able to start going through the process of the agenda- circle, mindful minute, journal. But haven’t been able to fully dive into the activities yet every time with the other business to cover— lockers, forms, etc.

Journaling was a tough sell since they are not getting graded on them... a couple of kids were wondering "what's the point" and didn't seem to see it as a cathartic or enjoyable activity.  I told them they could supplement their writing with drawings, diagrams, etc.
