What are your thoughts on HR lunches this week.]]> 2016-09-12 18:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123255758 Motto Assembly kschultheis https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123256410 Do you like it at the end of the day? Did it seem too long? too short? ]]> 2016-09-12 18:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123256410 General kschultheis https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123256804 How did it go overall? Would you change the order of any of the lessons? Did we overlook something important? ]]> 2016-09-12 18:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123256804 Schultheis kschultheis https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123258186 I really like doing the team building in the morning. It was nice as a 7th grade advisor to see all of the 7th graders throughout the day and have a chance to put names and faces together. ]]> 2016-09-12 18:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123258186 Means https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123296744 I liked the week much better, seemed like we had just enough time to get through all of the orientation

The PP was really helpful! https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123314031 ZT]]> 2016-09-13 00:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123314031 The speeches at the motto assembly were very sweet. I know timing with a field trip is tricky, but it would be helpful if we could make sure we start on time.  https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123314120 ZT]]> 2016-09-13 00:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123314120 I thought it was great (and long) week. I like seeing all 7s for team building. https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123314232 2016-09-13 00:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123314232 I like the idea of a little more lunch/outside time. https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123314328 ZT]]> 2016-09-13 00:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123314328 ZT  https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123314366 Opps...I didn't get to finish. I thought it was a great (and long) week. I like seeing all 7s for team building. I thought we used to do team building on day two. I'd be interested to know why we decided to make the change...]]> 2016-09-13 00:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123314366 Carey https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123319849 I would do separate the tech stuff into logistics and culture. It would be better for the students to have all of the logistics in place before classes, like email, internet, access to Haiku, printers, etc. Then we could talk about the culture later. Also, lets not forget about how the 12 year olds weren't able to download Microsoft Office...]]> 2016-09-13 01:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123319849 Carey https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123320040 I could do with one less Homeroom lunch. I liked having the games day on Friday instead of Wednesday!]]> 2016-09-13 01:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123320040 Carey https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123320115 More singing!]]> 2016-09-13 01:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123320115 Billings https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123432154 I wonder if there is a way to combine some of the activities from Friday into the Tuesday schedule. It's great to have lots of HR time, but getting to meet other kids on day one is important too. ]]> 2016-09-13 13:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123432154 Billings https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123433007 Don't think we need HR lunch on the Thursday and the Friday. Outdoor lunch is fine. More mingling. ]]> 2016-09-13 13:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123433007 Billings https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123433447 Tech: Would love more tech set up time and more tech staff on campus during that time to assist. There were some issues that I can't fix, passwords, etc. ]]> 2016-09-13 13:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123433447 I got feedback from parents that they loved that the kids sat with HR's the first day in the big room and also had HR lunch.  Reduced anxiety.  https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123468971 2016-09-13 14:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123468971 I thought it worked after kids had moved around earlier.  rzc https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123469702 2016-09-13 14:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123469702 I thought the week was really well organized.  I like Kelly's idea of switching up HR partners during team building so we have time with other faculty.   https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123470018 2016-09-13 14:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123470018 Newport https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123605826 I was happy to have homeroom students all day on Tuesday, but do see Miles' point. (above) Maybe all the girls from one homeroom can group with another homeroom to form a lunch table....]]> 2016-09-13 19:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123605826 newport https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123606558 again, instead of hr lunches, we could team our hr with another (by gender) We might need to have a few questions to get the talking started]]> 2016-09-13 19:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123606558 newport https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123606836 Thank goodness for the POWERPOINT.

I liked the team building for that reason. I agree with Amy that it would be great for 7th graders to have all tech training covered during the first week. ]]> 2016-09-14 12:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123733919 Brooks https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123735769 I could also do with one fewer homeroom and maybe 1 lunch with 2 homeroom's girls separate from boys as mentioned above. I, too, would include  more outdoor time.

Motto assembly was great.

Moving the team building day back to day two may lesson some kids. ]]> 2016-09-14 17:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123850585 Esteves https://padlet.com/kschultheis/yblhdapgpahi/wish/123851360 One less HR lunch would be nice.
