Notes from Centennial (Chef Carrie)  Possible Connections below.  Details will be sent by Chef Carrie
-SAAMIES calming exercises

According to the data I collected at the end of the year last year out of 237 responses 87 students wanted help with anger management 108 with physical fitness and 86 with communication.

Using this data, the first few weeks of instruction in my class will focus on these things, which also align with the school initiative to build relationships with students and multifaceted standards and objectives within my curriculum and the core.

I received a grant a number of years ago for exercise resources for SAMMIES – Stress Anxiety Anger Management Integrated Exercise Strategies. We are not doing Yoga. Concepts and strategies for the SAMMIES go across a range of exercise, psychology and health principles and standards located here https://www.cdc.gov/healthyschools/sher/standards/index.htm .




While at the International Society for Technology in Education conference (ISTE) this summer I acquired printed material that includes  visual aids for the connection to ISTE standards for learner, leadership, citizenship, collaborator, designer, facilitator and analyst. https://www.iste.org/explore/articleDetail?articleid=1001&category=ISTE-blog&article and http://www.iste.org/docs/Standards-Resources/educator-standards-digital-poster.pdf  

I will be using and referring to this throughout the year to encourage students to go deeper into their learning experiences.

Needless to say, the classroom will look different but students will be learning and applying vocabulary while addressing the concerns of the data.
