Joyful Jays: Go to slide 3 and choose a box with a lesson to complete with your kiddos.

We have already completed the lesson on Gratitude so please choose a different one! 

March 12 extended Advisory

Broke 30 for 30 Video: Click on link for video

For the extended advisory students will be watching the ESPN film Broke which shows the lives and spending habits of certain athletes. These athletes talk about the downfalls of financial decisions they made and what happens to their money when they stopped playing.

Before watching the movie ask the students to come up with a number they felt if they make per year there would be no way they would go broke. Once you get this number from the students write it on the board and they will see how their number compares to some of the amounts these athletes made.

Once you have stopped the video discuss with the class what poor decisions these people made with their money. Do some of these same decisions apply to people who go broke that don't make millions?

*You could also ask students to google athletes or professionals that have had financial trouble since the film was released as these names may be more relevant to them. 

Make sure to start the video from the beginning. I am probably going to show 45 minutes to an hour depending on how interested my kids are in it and then give them the rest of the hour to work on assignments or homework they have. This is up to you. You can always do grade checks if you have time.

March 5 Advisory

TODAY'S ADVISORY GOALS

1. Check in with students regarding their progress towards the goals they mapped out on paper at the beginning of the semester. Encourage them to note any progress or adjustments they may need to make in order to reach their goal.

2. Pass out the PT Conference Goals worksheet to students to complete. These were in your mailboxes this morning. Students are only to fill in the first column, with Hour, Subject, Teacher, Room and Grade. The notes section is for Parents to take notes on conference night. Please collect the forms at the end of advisory and turn them in to Lois Magnuson in the guidance office.

February 27th

Tuesday, February 26th - NO ADVISORY

• Wednesday, February 27th - In place of advisory tomorrow, we will be having an assembly on Wednesday during LH with all students. See the attached speaker assembly bell schedule. 

• Please tell your 5th-hour class to report to their 6th hour and check in for attendance before going to the assembly in the fieldhouse. Students can leave their bags in their 6th hour before heading to the fieldhouse. 

• We need to have all students seated for the assembly, so if you can assist with moving kids from up top railings to a seated location that would be great! We will sit in our normal assembly spots (Freshmen, Sophmore, Junior, Senior) 

February 19 - District Survey

After the survey, allow students to have some focused study time. Please remember this is a time to support and connect with your Advisory students so please keep them with you for the duration of Advisory.

Action Plan Steps check-in with each student:

• Conference with each student individually using their Action Plan Sheet.
• Pull up student grades. On the Action Plan sheet, make a notation of student’s current grade and review their action steps. (Consider having the student record the grade to increase student ownership.)
• Remember to be encouraging and inquire if they need additional supports. Example: Have the student log in to LEH to view their calendar and schedule tutoring times if needed.
• Study time
