Hallway Learning

You are welcome to have your students work alongside of the hallway walls outside of your classroom. We want to ensure that students stay in the same entry/exit zone that they use daily and that they are working respectfully. 

Groups working in the media center should seek approval ahead of time so that we can ensure fogging is possible between groups. 

Please let Kristen know if you have any questions about this. Thanks!

Engagement in action!

Kindness Week

World Kindness Day is November 13th. Our third grade team, in conjunction with our PTO, have devised an excellent plan to celebrate kindness in and around Brown School. Here's the scoop:
  • Classroom teachers will receive a stack of "confetti" shaped cutouts by November 9th. 
  • During a class meeting during the week of November 9th, classes will share real-life examples of kindness toward others that students & staff have witnessed at Brown School.  
  • Upon witnessing/participating in an act of kindness toward others at school, students/staff will write details on a piece of confetti.
  • Classroom teachers will tape the pieces of confetti along the classroom door frame in the hallway.
  • We will share a Flipgrid on the Brown PTO Facebook page so that families can record and share examples of kindness witnessed outside of school throughout the week. 

Small group, strategic, skill-specific intervention is the key! So proud to capture celebrations like this all around Brown School everyday!
