On Tuesday, wear PURPLE in recognition of student health and well being. Fits in with us I think. So, can you all wear PURPLE on Tuesday?

This week, I will be working mainly with SFU group as they only have a week. We will all need to ensure we are supporting them to GO BIG! We will have a one on one pull out in the Caf so SFU group can work if they need to. Everyone else will be working on portfolios. We may start talking about next AFU, but we'll see as it is a short week for you!

Here is the video link to what we watched today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ev7GXzFTPg&sns=em

You are to answer question 10 in a written paragraph for Tuesday. AFU Reflections are also due on Tuesday.

Question 10 is: How can you use Sinek's discussion of the importance of trust and relationships in Link? In your own life?

Tuesday: September Celebration! Let's celebrate our hard work.

Wednesday: Pull a Grade 9 from MSIP and work with him or her. Each leader will pick a linker who they feel needs their help. 

Thursday: LLET

Can you let the class know ...

Orientation Questions NOT in journal. Should be typed in a separate document or nicely hand written. Due no later than Thursday.

Thanks. I'll start using my blog for students to check so I don't bug you!

Hi!

 

I hope you are getting some rest after the busy week. I am including for you to post/share with the others the first journal entry based on Orientation.  If you are able, feel free to copy and paste my comments for the class to see.

 

Here it is:

 

Thank you everyone for such great work during training and at Orientation! I look forward to hearing even more stories about your experiences—I'm sure they are entertaining!  Here is the Orientation Reflection I would like you to discuss in your journal. While you will have a more detailed question sheet to fill in regarding Orientation, here are a few questions for you as I am curious about your experience in this first experience with your Grade 9 students.

 

1. The Linker that made an impression on you?

2.  Who introduced themselves first?

3.  Which activities did you run/how did it go?

4.  What problems did you have to solve?

5.  Who in your group is shy, funny?

6.  Where did you need more time?

7.  What did you forget?

 

Thanks so much!  See you Tuesday.

Great work this week! I hope you all had an experience that taught you something!

As I announced in the Cafeteria, your task this weekend/for Monday's class is to have a quote to share with the class that is significant to you. It may reflect your personality, your values, or a motto you live by. I will have one to share and will explain the activity that is done with it.

Tomorrow we will go over the handout for your journals and hopefully I will answer any questions you have.

 

The rest of the class will be spent on getting ready for Friday. On Friday you will:

 

-          Meet your crew in the Caf after 20 minutes of class (you have the first 20 minutes to do any final preparations ie. Photocopies?)

-          Take your crew outside (staying together)

-          Run an activity with them (icebreaker game)

-          Check in on their first week – do they have any questions?

-          Have them fill in your information sheets (you may want to consider that you will be outside – have a hard writing surface and writing utensils)

-          Discuss that you will be having a lunch soon – do they have any preferences on what that should look like?
