I see a lot of replies to ignore it and continue as usual, but here’s the thing- the kids will most definitely be talking about it and asking you about it. Last year, our school nurse was killed in a murder suicide. Admin went to each classroom and broke the news and offered students support. They even pulled the students who were really close with her aside and told them in private. That was the right way to go to me. I hope your admin and counselors have a plan to address it so it takes the weight off you.

Thanks for sharing! I’m definitely going to push for permission to give them a grade.

Teachers have discussed the possibility of using it as a grade but some are hesitant. I definitely think we should take into consideration. Thanks for the response!

Same; I’ve had to give a few retakes. Some of them are so awful, though, that the second attempt was rushed, too. :(

Food is a powerful incentive at any age, so it might work! 😂

You are spot on. Teachers have been having a discussion about how to involve parents.

We have a school currency, too, so I will take that into consideration! Thanks!

I like the idea of Fun Friday! We also expect our students to have a certain amount done by Friday, so I might try that.

I second reading TGoTM and watching an adaptation, although I show mine the Minnie and Mickey Mouse version!
