Jinxed Snow Days?! I Think Not! :)

Feb26

Hello to all my employees (aka students) out there enjoying your days off in the snow! Remember the story I told y’all about jinxing the snow day we should have had on Tuesday?!  Well, this time I didn’t jinx it… I repeat, this time I didn’t jinx it!!!  YAY!

Are y’all having fun?!  Let’s hear from each other kiddos!  I have an assignment for you – leave your comments below this post (remember the commenting guidelines) and share what you’ve been doing.  In order to entice (maybe bribe would be a better word!) you to leave a comment, I will be handing out candy during class when we get back to each student who does! Even if you don’t have a student blog, you may leave a comment.  Please post only your first name and last initial when you do.

To get the ball rolling, I am posting videos and pics of what I’ve been doing.  Here we go!!!

Conflict Resolution Champions!

Feb18

How can you solve a conflict without making others mad?  Is that even possible?

That’s what 8th graders have just recently learned about in Career Management class.  What better way to learn than to put your newly acquired skills to the test through the Conflict Resolution Challenge! Students were split into groups of 3 or 4 and given 3 different scenarios, or conflicts, to solve using both common sense and conflict management strategies they learned in class. 

And now for our winners….drum roll please!!!!
