This week, I am solo as Dianeis enjoying some time in Florida
.
I am solo as Diane is enjoyingsome time in Florida, so I
thought it might be kind of neatto share an audio that I have
with you, where students in ourbuilding talk about their
student binders, theirleadership binders, and how they
(01:00):
keep track of their growth,both behavior and also academic.
We believe this is a verypowerful part of the PBIS system
, the acknowledgement systembecause not only as adults do we
need to acknowledge studentsfor their behavior and also
(01:21):
their academics, but studentsneed to recognize and
acknowledge themselves aslearners, as lifelong learners,
and so today I want to sharewith you just a little sample of
how they see their binders, andI hope you enjoy.

that was really nice.
Um, let me see, this is my allabout me chart.
(12:42):
I look looking at it and like,sometimes some of my stuff in
here really brings me up.
Um, I've heard that we aredoing I am lucky charts and I
really like looking at thisbecause I often get sad because
I was unlike normal childrenbefore, when I was around the
age of three and I had justlearned to walk, I could not
walk right.
I walked on my feet, like on mytiptoes, instead of on my heels
(13:05):
, so I had to have surgery toget that fixed.
So I often get arthritis and getsad, but when I look in here
it's another magnet pick me up.
And I love looking at thisbecause I have a friend down in
second grade who will come andvisit me every once in a while
and I share it with one of mygood friends from fifth grade,
jc Hardy.
Oh, that's wonderful.
