Students learn best in settings & activities that they find enjoyable & meaningful, but those who engage in problem behavior have less access to these experiences. One way to address this is to consider the impact of the behavior on their quality of life: https://t.co/iZ1FC9DSGC
Join us in congratulating Kim Rees! π Kim is a fourth-grade teacher at Merwin Elementary who was recognized for her work as a teacher and advisor of the Science & Nature Club that will work on Merwinβs outdoor learning space, garden and food compost bins. π± #WCconnects#WCcares
Hawaiian Day at Merwin was a success! πΊπ βMustang Moments'' occur twice a month as part of PBIS where students are able to celebrate being part of the HERD (Honest, Empathetic, Respectful, Determined). #WCconnects
Teachers like Mr. Richardson help to make the world feel a little smaller in fun ways while connecting multiple subjects. π Teaching truly is an art!
Rotations time! Students are researching what schools look like for fourth graders around the world and writing about their findings, learning about the history of jeans & sneakers in @Scholastic, and creating visual sketchnotes for their vocabulary words! @WestCler#WCconnects
A lot of our students won't tell us what they are going through with their words, but they will with their actions, their expressions, and their body language.
We must look deeper. π
@WillowvilleE it's time to get reading because we got the grant to provide fall PD on behavioral leadership through @ScottErvinKids !!! Thanks to our awesome PTO for funding the purchase of The Classroom Behavior Manual books.
This coming school year I will be leaving my beloved Warriors to serve as Assistant Principal at Merwin Elementary School. I will miss our fantastic teachers and students so much but am beyond excited to begin working with the staff at Merwin and to meet those Mustangs! #LOVEWC
Our principal goes the extra mile every day but especially today with one of our SAIL students who needed a little help getting through the obstacle course #wccares@WillowvilleE@WestCler
