October 22, 2014


Welcome to the Speas Global Elementary Blog!
All staff members, let's make sure we are teaching, reteaching, and teaching again the procedures in the common areas (Hallway, Cafeteria, Bathrooms, Playground, Bus).  We should be giving out lots of Bee's for students demonstrating the basic expectations.  It is a good idea to review the procedures before you leave one area to travel to another area.  

Our Mission: It is the mission of Speas Elementary School to provide its students with the tools necessary to successfully meet the challenges they will face in a diverse world.

Goals:
To increase English Language Arts achievement by 10%
To increase Mathematics achievement by 10%
To increase Science Achievement by 10%

How can praising Bee's for effort impact their attitudes.  Another look at Growth Mindset.





 

Announcements:
Thanks to everyone who helped out with Parent night.  It was a lot of fun.  Staff members, we appreciate all of your extra efforts.  It has not gone unnoticed.





We had food from Bushey Crocker and Chef Boy R. Lee
Decorations by Bowen's Best
Entertainment by Merrill's Mobile Book Reading Service
Our MC was Ash the Great
Others just walked around trying to get photographed.


Ms. Burleson and Mr. Cokley have claimed the title of "First Contact."  Using the website 'epals', they have actually contacted 3 classrooms from 3 different coutries, India, Australia, and.....well, I cannot remember the last one.  But, the evidence has been confirmed.  Teachers, if you are doing something similar, please let us know, we'd love to see it.

Mrs. Merrill has made it easy for your class to vote for Specials Bee Incentives.  There is a Smart file on the S drive under PBIS/Specials Bee Incentive Vote 2014.  Just drag that file onto your desktop, open and use.  

All staff members, let's make sure we are teaching, reteaching, and teaching again the procedures in the common areas (Hallway, Cafeteria, Bathrooms, Playground, Bus).  We should be giving out lots of Bee's for students demonstrating the basic expectations.  It is a good idea to review the procedures before you leave one area to travel to another area.  

SMOD Tickets (dress code violations) are located in the workroom.  Please keep the bottom portion for your own records as a way to keep track of the number of violations.  The continuum is as follows:

1st offense: verbal warning, and letter will be sent home to be signed.  Parent or guardian notified of violation

2nd offense: Teacher notifies parent or guardian and student is removed from class until proper SMOD is delivered.

(Teachers, we all should be enforcing this, it will only work if we all enforce it).
