Veterans Day & Gratitude

Attitude of 
Gratitude

Please take a moment to share what you are grateful for with our Marshall staff.  It is uplifting and uniting to know what we are thankful for during this difficult time.  Please share your thought using this Attitude of Gratitude form.  Thank you!


Remotely Comfortable?  I think so!  Love this.  Mustangs continue to innovate, adapt and show up (sometimes upside-down, sideways or horizontal).  You continue to give them reasons WHY!!  Thank you.

~Thank you Emily Gerlick for your amazing attitude and willingness to do whatever I need in class. I also very much appreciate your help in covering my class for a little while. ~ Katie Krause

~Thank you Ellen Hobson During parent teacher conferences, many of my parents commented on how much their child enjoyed art and looked forward to it every Wednesday. Many of my students show their art work during show and tell. Thank you Ellen for making art fun even in the remote setting! ~Melissa Bianco

~Thank you Andrea Shaw for reaching out to more community partners, leaders, and friends to lead our Mustangs in the pledge.

~Thank you Christina and Erin for helping me move SO MUCH furniture out of our hallways, out of the common areas, out of the gym and into the trash or storage. I appreciate your manual labor. The storage unit looks incredible! Thank you for organizing. We all got a good workout :) Sorry and thank you. ~Reasor

Spotlight on Linda Stamer, Music Teacher

Hi Marshall,
My name is Linda Stamer, and I am the old/new music teacher.  I started at Marshall 15 years ago when we moved to Flagstaff from Arlington, Texas.  There are still a few familiar faces on staff - but I won't rat them out.
In my 15-year hiatus I taught music at Sechrist for 5 years before I moved to NAU where I taught on the Music Education faculty for 10 years.
My husband Rick still teaches at NAU and my daughter Sarah is a freshman at UArizona with a dual major in physics and astronomy.
Before COVID I was also involved in the Flagstaff Community Band and led my church choir.  NOW I just spend my nights reenergizing from online teaching. =) You get that!!!!
I am so encouraged at how hard the Marshall kiddos work for someone they have not even met in person!!!  And the staff has been so encouraging and supportive.  It is good to be back at Marshall!!!


Collaboration Hrs to implement UDL ($ = money)
We will begin with up to 6 hours of collaboration time for our teachers to be paid just over $29/hr off of contract time to work on UDL lesson development. Keep your focus narrow. Tackle one part of the UDL design process at a time. Please fill out THIS sheet to communicate with me your collaborative plan and don't forget to fill out a time sheet for that time period.

Restorative Practices

THE 5 R’S 

(please digest 1 a week)


RESPECT 

RESPONSIBILITY 

REPAIR 

RELATIONSHIP
REINTEGRATION 


2. RELATIONSHIP: 

Strong, healthy relationships are vital to a healthy community. However, in the normal course of human life, relationships are sometimes broken through wrongdoing and conflict. Restorative justice sees wrongdoing and conflict primarily as a violation to individuals and to communities, rather than to the institution. Relationships can be mended by an individual making it right with another person and to the community. When relationships are healed, all benefit; and people feel good and safe living in their community. 




We have a responsibility to make sure our Thanksgiving lessons are s
ocially and culturally responsive.  Here are some Thanksgiving teaching resources for you.   


· Teaching Thanksgiving

· A racial justice guide to teaching Thanksgiving for educators (Also has many additional links to other sites.)

· Teacher blog on teaching Thanksgiving from a Native American perspectives

· Native educators on "you can teach thanksgiving responsibly"

· NPR story on what educators need to know

· Plymouth plantation interactive site for students:
You are the historian
