Talkin Tue, Week 34, EMPATHY, & Brain Talk

...where ALL students are UNIQUE and Wonderfully Made!

Time for POSITIVE ACTIONS!

Today is TALKIN TUESDAY where we see that our school family of teachers, staff, and administrators care 
about the students in
Morgan County Schools!

And, where we will take a Positive moment each week to 
"Talk It Out"
and discuss important student issues.

We are so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, April 28, 2020! For each "Teacher Talkin' Tuesday" in Positive Actions, we will meet members of our school family community that care about YOU!  Today, features Morgan County Social Workers, Ms. Becca and Ms. Mandi.

Here is today's video vlog with BRAIN TALK followed by a movie clip about National PAY IT FORWARD DAY!  Watch this:

Now, for your BRAIN TALK fun, watch this cool stuff bet you didn't know about your brain with hosts Dr. Chris and Dr. Xand, "Brilliant Brains/Operation Ouch":

That was fun!

Guess what is next?!?  Since our Positive Action Word of the Week is empathy, and in Spanish:  empatia, we have a question for YOU for National PAY IT FORWARD DAY!  When you "pay it forward," you are doing a positive action for someone else without that person knowing it was you.  Isn't that cool!?!

YOUR student assets are what will help you succeed here at school and as you grow up.  When we learn more about each other, it helps to create a caring school climate, which is an essential external developmental asset. 

So, guess what that means?!  We want to learn more about YOU too!  For Positive Actions each Tuesday, you will have the opportunity to share something new about yourself, and since we have a break from school, share it with your family.  It is "Talk It Out Time!"  

Here is what we want you to do.  I will give you a completely different question each Tuesday, and you will share with your family and friends something brand new or unknown about yourself!  If you want, maybe you can ask your parent to DoJo your answer to your teacher OR you can email us at angie@morganpartnership.org.  

So, for today's "Talk It Out," are you ready?  Here is our discovery question:

"How can YOU pay it forward today?"

I'll go first.  Hi!  My name is Mrs. Hott.  Here is how I can pay it forward today:  Ms. Sheima LOVES Fox's pizza with olives.  I am going to call and order her delivery but not tell her it was me!  (Shhhh.....don't let her know, ok?  It will be our Pay it Forward Surprise!)

Do you think Sheima can eat that much?  LOL!  (By the way, this pizza has pepperoni.  I'll get Ms. Sheima olives!)

YOUR turn!  "How can YOU Pay It Forward Today?" (Remember to social distance, and you'll be anonymous!) Here are some ideas:
**pick some flowers for your neighbor and leave at their door without seeing them
**drop off essential supplies, maybe an extra roll of toilet paper, at a senior citizen's house
**call your grandma or grandpa and sing them a song
**write your teacher and say you miss them
**draw a picture of you with a loved one and mail it to them
**clean the bathroom and don't tell your parent who did it
**do the dishes secretly
**text a classmate you care about them

"Talking it out" starts with one student at a time...and that is.....

YOU!
