https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l We have a current Wellness Wednesday. I have outlined some of my thoughts and suggestions. There are components that need to hold true as we are all still working, but we still have to achieve a balance. Please use this Padlet to brainstorm ideas. en-us 2020-11-11 17:51:26 UTC 2020-11-13 17:47:49 UTC hello@padlet.com kendrickmyers https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913736352 Break up by alphabet or schedule sign up]]> 2020-11-11 17:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913736352 kendrickmyers https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913740832 2020-11-11 17:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913740832 tashaallen4_1 https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913825130 2020-11-11 18:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913825130 https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913826072 2020-11-11 18:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913826072 shameka_williams https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913827255 *SEL-Counseling Corner could address that (much needed!)
*Alternating clubs/advisory every other week (something that is a time for students to have fun and build relationships)
*Small groups
(I'd love for teachers and students to only have to be logged on maybe twice and go get a break. Students & teachers are overwhelmed from the longevity of the other 4 days and it wears on a person's persistence)]]> 2020-11-11 18:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913827255 https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913828208 Some should be selected by students and others may need to be more focused based on grade/assignment data

If students and teachers are feeling overwhelmed (I feel overwhelmed), A light Wednesday is deserved (especially for our teacher parents who have kids logged on for EA).]]> 2020-11-11 19:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913977734 shameka_williams https://padlet.com/kendrickmyers/9i7h7d5gku5osk4l/wish/913996575 Can we also consider Mrs Hood? Forensics 3rd/4th period on Wednesdays take a hit because she has to still work with JA students. She has been only able to do this because Everette is her coteacher so Wednesday have been just a place for them to make up work or maybe take a small assessment.
