Advisory
This week in Advisory we brainstomed ways we could spend the money we earned from our Fall Basket! Students had to make proposals, find the item, and record the price of the item. Some popular items Advisory students want us to spend the money on is a volleyball, football, microwave, and donuts. Some more wild ideas are a class pet in the form of a golden retriever.
For Community Circle, we talked about the Circle of Control. We then brainstormed things within our control, things outside of our control, and ways we can cope when life or school feels difficult. The image below to see what students shared out.
