Can we do the wheel spinning against the GLC wall facing the field? We would have more space, and the houses can have clear areas to gather each week.

I find myself sometimes realizing after the fact, "Oh I should've given points for that" not just a compliment or thanks. I guess tips or advice on how to not get caught up in the hussle and bussle of teaching and making more of a n effort to remember to give points. What works for others

It might be beneficial to have the students write about their thoughts and or feelings about the House System as well. Seeing how they feel about it may be very helpful.

Adding points every Friday.  Having the wheel spin at the same time each week because that is our writer's workshop time, so it shortens our lessons on that day. Actually, I can switch stuff around so don't worry about it :).

More inclusion of teachers when it comes to getting ready for celebrations.  Knowing ahead of time what the theme was.  This might get teacher's thinking about ideas or suggestions to help with the celebration.

House lunches seemed to have disappeared (not the whole school ones, just the sit with your house table lunches). I liked going out on a Friday to sit with my house kids. I know there were some problems, but I'd like to see it back in place.

All the work that is involved for the teachers who plan and implement the celebrations, getting the volunteers, training the volunteers ordering supplies, making samples for the stations, the set up and the clean up, trying to get reimbursed in a timely manner. It is a TON of work. (Although I do believe it is worth it...just a lot of work.)

We are not RCA, and should not try to be exactly like RCA.  But we should have the same teaching goals regarding rigor, engagement, and building relationships.  How does that look at GG?  Are there expectations of what teachers should doing?  Some might feel that they should be doing lessons as elaborate as RCA, and may feel inadequate.  Its important for each staff member to realize they bring amazing and different talents to each classroom.  Rigor, engagement, and relationships with our students looks different with each of our own teaching style.

I think the house system has been a positive change at GG. I do feel that there are differing levels of engagement with staff and students. How can we get all students to embrace this system and engage with their house in a meaningful way?

Promotes school spirit. Teaches students how to have a healthy competition and support each other. Promotes positive thinking and growth mindset as well as a sense of "family." It is a motivator/reminder for good behavior. Although some people may not agree that kids should be rewarded for doing what they are supposed to do, we need to remember that they ARE kids and need to be supported in learning how to behave as expected and make it become a true habit.
