At the end of everyday, I took a moment to rate the day and how committed I was to the commitment. ]]> 2021-02-28 20:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1250767761 https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1250928863 I have deliberately taken time to applaud the good things in class and have tried to be more light-hearted.]]> 2021-02-28 22:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1250928863 https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1251008836 I do not know if it is because I am getting older or all the added stress of this year, but I think the goal of learning every scholar name the first two weeks is unfair and not obtainable for everyone. I got a new group of students at semester. As long as I am in class and can picture them setting in their assigned seats I know their names. Outside of class, it is harder to remember who is who for some that look similar and I do not have to call their name a dozen times during class. ]]> 2021-02-28 23:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1251008836 https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1251039782 I put something in my lesson plan to communicate with scholars about their work and giving constructive, timely feedback.]]> 2021-02-28 23:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1251039782 https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1251043798 I have focused more on my hardworking scholars versus the ones that aren’t working at all. I have spent almost all school year thinking of things to do for those who aren’t participating and it isn’t working. I have started rewarding the hard working students with titan bucks. Hopefully the reward system that I’m using will motivate the others. ]]> 2021-02-28 23:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1251043798 kakelly11 https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1252917033 I feel like our scholars feel more motivated to thrive when shown examples of how success can benefit them. Especially local success. ]]> 2021-03-01 13:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1252917033 lhall157 https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1253010124 I took a PD course on Social Emotional Learning.

We also did a research activity. Students enjoyed sharing some of the facts they had found. It created more of a fun, accepting environment. ]]> 2021-03-01 16:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1254039867 https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1254920573 just trying not to engage in powers of will as often]]> 2021-03-01 18:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1254920573 https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1255321220 2021-03-01 20:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jcastleman3/k61mp8v806oepmi5/wish/1255321220
