TURN IT UP!🔊 @AGENT0__ has a bright future ahead of him on the field, but he has a hidden talent too!
He rocked the house during the Bank of America Rookie Premiere today. What a moment @dallascowboys
When I was a building principal, we had a group of boys who were consistently getting office referrals during lunch for aggressive and disruptive behaviors. In the past, these behaviors had led to increasingly severe consequences that did not reduce the negative behaviors (and caused some students to be sent home and to miss instruction). I sat down with the group and we worked together to come up with a plan on what to do during lunch. One of the boys asked if we could start a knitting club, since his Auntie had recently taught him how to knit. Since he was a leader of the group, the other boys agreed. I asked them to come back tomorrow with some ideas of what to knit. The next day one of the boys said that he wanted to knit little hats for the preemies at the hospital, since his little cousin was there and that a nurse mentioned that they had run out of the little hats. The boys knitted daily and we delivered the hats to the hospital. We received many heartfelt thank you notes from families, nurses and doctors (and even an in-person visit with a personal thank you and cookies from a newborn's mom). This group continued to grow as did our ability to create knitted hats for preemies. This became a huge success for the participating students. There was significant improvement in the students’ behavior, attitude, achievement, and attendance. It is so important to think outside of the box for “win-win” solutions. It really isn’t the WHAT you do that is important, it is the WHY you are doing it! Our knitting group become a team, family, and community.

Our students residing at the Bell County campus are becoming fantastic readers! Thanks in part to @DreamBox_Learn Reading, they are showing 100% accuracy in the areas of point of view, reasoning, and rhetoric. One student read over 6,100 words in one week! #begreat
For students living at our Bell County campus, getting to know oneself can be challenging but incredibly rewarding. They just finished their poetry unit, filling in an ABC grid of personal characteristics and creating an acrostic poem. We're so proud! #belong#begreat@TPCSAnews
