This Week in Alpha What a great week to practice flexibility! We had no school on Monday, Ms. Kim taught on Tuesday, and Ms. Alexa and Ms. Alyssa were in the classroom for the rest of the week. The students got to guide their substitutes in finding supplies, learning classroom procedures, and following the classroom schedule. We are super happy to report that they have their Alpha routines down pat!

This Week in Alpha What’s this?! This Week in Alpha… Thanks Everybody for holding down the fort while I bounced between Austin and Lincoln, Nebraska last week! Part of building community involves teamwork. Through teamwork, we build trust. Our table team challenges right now help us explore how we work together, collaborating, negotiating, and compromising. We’re all really good at knowing what we personally want, but it gets very sticky for us to figure out how we can work together towards a common purpose.
