Student engagement is an important, proactive strategy for student discipline. Year 2 ELEM had great convo about what students who are engaged and disengaged are feeling and what behaviors we might see as a result. Thanks Sarah and Jenn! #sbpdchat Dr. Evelyn Mamman (she/her) Suzanne Luck-Born

Year 1 ELEM learned the brain break, Three-Person Machine, from Refocus & Recharge. Work in small groups, pick a machine & act it out for others to guess. Creativity, communication, collaboration, and pure fun. (📸: airplane, roller coaster, photocopier, microwave) #sbpdchat

Year 1 ELEM dug deep into the different types of teacher language for responding to misbehavior and worked to apply their learning through different scenarios. Great discussion! Dr. Evelyn Mamman (she/her) Suzanne Luck-Born Radha Mehta #sbpdchat

Congratulations to Kim Nelligan, our 24-25 Teacher Keynote Award Recipient! While sharing her story, she reminded us of what can happen when we lift each other up. We are gifts to each other. “A rising tide lifts all boats.”

Thank you to BAPS Robbinsville for the hospitality today! Breathtaking would be an understatement. Beautiful (& much needed) messages about love, service, community, & peace. Our K-8 Art Specialists left inspired, & I can’t wait to see what comes to life in their art studios w/students.
