I used to believe the "what" was more important. Now I believe the "when" is more important. #whendecisions

I agree with you some of those morning meeting games are great at syncing the class.

[Kim Frye @_KimFrye]

A6: #whendecisions Many of the activities suggested for synchronization remind me of Morning Meeting games which are useful during Morning Meetings but could also be used to break up the afternoon or to mark a midpoint.

[Susan LaRocque @LaRocqueSusan]

A6: Our school does a great job synchronizing the tribe with whole school activities and community projects. Our teachers do a amazing job syncing their classes with morning meeting/activities. #whendecisions

[Susan LaRocque @LaRocqueSusan]

Michelle I agree with you about our school! You also do a great job of synchronizing your class with your great morning activities!

[Susan LaRocque @LaRocqueSusan]

A5: I also like the Time Hacker's ending the day with listing achievements letting Ss see and know what they've accomplished! Positive Ending! #whendecisions [email protected]

I agree as a parent it is hard to hear all those CAN'Ts about your kid!

[Karen Marinaccio @KarenMarinaccio]

A5: I think it is really important in special ed meetings to remember to end on a positive note. So often meetings, of necessity, are focused on what Ss CAN'T do. Ending with a plus- a goal accomplished, review of progress - may make all the difference to parents. #whendecisions

A4: January is a good half-way point to reflect on student progress. I perform some more formal assessments on students to see progress. Depending on the outcome, I either increase goals or reassess how I am teaching and try different approaches if needed. #whendecisions

[Susan LaRocque @LaRocqueSusan]

A4: midpoints (mid year) assessments gives us a look at how to approach the rest of SY. Halftime of this Super Bowl game nervous! 😬 #whendecisions

[Susan LaRocque @LaRocqueSusan]

Karen, I agree with you. Before school recess was mentioned recently also!

[Karen Marinaccio @KarenMarinaccio]

A3: For the elementary level, I think it is so important for kids to have recess. We have two a day, which is great, but maybe they need more. There are certain students who need movement breaks even more frequently. We are asking many children to pay attention...#whendecisions

[Susan LaRocque @LaRocqueSusan]

A3: It not that we take "what" more seriously. "What" is easier to solve then "when". Let's hope all the stars align when starting together! #whendecisions

[Susan LaRocque @LaRocqueSusan]

A2: #whendecisions Afternoon staff mtg could start with some Mindfulness breathing or meditation. Warm weather start mtg in Turtle Island.

[Susan LaRocque @LaRocqueSusan]

A1: #whendecisions I agree with several not waiting a full 24 hrs. Acknowledging you will reply ASAP especially to parents.
