Introduce Dogwood's School Mission Statement
Leading- Have leadership roles in your classroom
Create posters or videos with Do's and Don't of the playground, hallway, classroom.
Achieving- introduce WIGS (personal and classroom goals in your classroom)
Tie achieving to your behavior plans/clip charts, classroom attendance or reading charts.
Kindness- begin to fill Emotional Bank Accounts and have "random acts of kindness." Add KIND words to your word wall.
Empower- we empower students by using positive reinforcement. Find the "whale done" and give them praise and attention for it. Celebrate not just reaching the end goal but the journey to that moment. Instill in them the belief that their "YOU-ness" is what makes them great.
Responsible- help them to see that they are responsible for things in the classroom and their learning Using Leadership Binders gives the ownership in their learning. Set class academic goals. Encourage responsibility in reading at home each night, remembering tennis shoes on PE days and library books on Library Day.
Our Mission is clear... now go forth. Remember YOU are a LAKER!
