Emotional Literacy Charter Creation

For our initial Morning Meeting today, we started by creating an Emotional Literacy Charter. This is a tool I learned through the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence's RULER program and Mark Brackett.


It's a simple document where we ask a few questions:
1. What feelings do we want to feel in SchoolBitz?
2. What behaviors do we need to do so that we feel those feelings?
3. What do we do to repair or respond if we don't feel those feelings?

Beazer was very generative while Ruby mostly watched.  Ultimately, we want to feel HAPPY, FOCUSED, SERIOUS, TEAM, LOVING, CURIOUS AND KIND, and DOMINATE THE DAY.

We also introduced our week-long Essential Question: How is SchoolBitz similar/different from our other schools? We'll use it to drive some reflection daily as we co-create this little community.
