groups.

My students love groups. They love to compete with other groups to see how many points they can earn by the end of the day or the end of the week.  They earn points by doing all kinds of things, especially being ready to listen, being prepared, and working quietly.

They have 3 groups, as follows:
 

the snowy owls.

the barn owls.

the spotted owls.

Some of those spotted owls 

became concerned today

because they haven't earned many

points this week.

SO, the entire spotted owl group had a strategic planning meeting after school today to discuss ways in which they can be better at earning points.  I really admire their goal setting and their desire to become a stronger team.

Future leaders,for sure.
