First Five #5

First Five Minutes Pattern

Monday	Mondays are for acts of kindness.  The first four minutes could be used to listen to stories about the acts of kindness performed the week before.  The last minute should be spent going over what this week’s act will be.
Tuesday	Tuesdays are for talking about the quote.  Have students discuss their interpretation of the quote, how it makes them feel, and how it relates to their lives.
Wednesday	Wednesdays are for talking about ethical questions or scenarios.
Thursday	Thursdays are for discussion to get many points of view on one topic.
Friday	Fridays are for target letters of kindness. Have students write a quick note of appreciation for that week’s target.

Week five

Monday	Do something unexpected for your parent(s) or guardians this week:  Take out the trash, wash dishes, vacuum the house, etc.
Tuesday	“I remind myself every morning:  Nothing I say this day will teach me anything.  So if I’m going to learn, I must do it by listening”. -Larry King (b. 1933), American television and radio host
Wednesday	If someone asks you to keep a secret, do you tell no one or do you tell someone else and say something like, “I am not supposed to say anything, but..”?
Thursday	What is confidence?  Believe in your own ability.
Friday	Custodian

News, Notes, and Reminders

Social Networks:  It has come to the attention of Dr. Brisson that many of the social network authorization forms were not filed within the district technology office.  Therefore, they are asking that teachers who are currently using social media sites for classes, clubs, activities, or athletics, will need to fill out this form.  When completed, please forward it to dianeskelsky@ci.bristol.ct.us   When filling out the form, please be sure to initial the bottom box.  Please feel free to put down my name for authorization.  Please complete the form and send to Diane as soon as possible.  I'm aware of twitter pages for BE athletics, Girls' soccer, the class of 2017, and cross-country.  Forms will need to be completed for these pages and any social network accounts that have been created.  You can review the social media policy in our BEHS--Shared Google Drive Policies and Practices folder.

Fobs are here:  The fobs are here and ready for you to use.  Please pick up your fob from Sandi Marseglia.
