At @OakRidgeMagnet we started student leadership circles. To end each circle with my girls we all say three affirmations together to continue to uplift each other and remind each other that you are loved, you are enough, and you are strong! #connectionmatters#WordsHaveSeeds
Restorative Practices allows participants to ground themselves in their values-things they believe are important in the way they live their life. It was exciting to work in classrooms & establish what they believe is important in their class. We used them in our community circles
It has been a while twitter family, but I am going to take the next week to post different things I have done this school year as the Restorative Practices Coach! Stay tuned :) #QuarantineBucketList

Restorative tip of the week... creating relationship-focused culture requires time spent on building community. Simply focusing on discipline will not improve culture. Relationship centered environments foster intrinsic motivation to contribute positively to school culture.
Hey Parents and Community Members!
I’m looking for someone to help once every two weeks to check in/out rentable STEM kits to students/families. Students will be able to check out Virtual Reality Kits, Engineering Kits, Coding Devices, Robots, and more! Message me if interested!
Today I had a great time learning and practicing effective social and emotional learning at the “Moving Into The Zone” training with @ZonesOfReg and @1000petals I look forward to continue this work. #mindfulliving#regulatingourfeelings
#ThoughtForTheDay Try & live your life by these two rules:
1. Golden rule - treat others like you would want to be treated.
2. Platinum rule: treat others how they want to be treated.
Do that & watch your relationships & connections w/others grow. #Culturize
This is why I love OR sooo much!! This list is perfect. We have worked very hard to make our school supplies list reasonable and suitable to exactly what we do in the classroom. As well as dug into our resources to make sure we have equity at the forefront! 🙌🏽👍🏽🎉
We are NOT trying to rush your summer, but the 2019-20 school supply list is now available! ✏️🖍️✂️ You can also find it in the Quick Links on the Oak Ridge website.
#ThoughtForTheDay No child wants to be a failure. When we put conditions on students in terms of behavior & level of performance, we create a culture of compliance. Let’s commit to being there no matter what…for every student, every day! #Culturize#LiveYourExcellence
It was an honor to be my daughters teacher this school year. I will forever cherish this experience. I am so proud of the young lady she is becoming! I can’t believe she is headed to middle school! ❤️
The end of the school year can be a tough transition! The We Will Remember wall is 1 way we're focusing on what we'll remember from this year & what we are grateful for. This is just a sample of all the things our students & staff appreciate about our school! #LearnLiveLeadatOR
