Do Now

For Those of You Brilliant Children Who Have Completed This! Start on your prompt for tomorrow.
While walking through school I realized that not many KIPPsters (big and little) say good morning to each other. This personally made me sad, so I am proposing that 2021 start a movement and make a point to say "good morning" and "good afternoon" to people when passing them in the hallway. I have learned that each person you greet feels better about their day when acknowledged. Let's show some gratitude! Oh and have a great Spring Break!
Studies show that when you have a good start to your work day, you’ll typically have a good day. Here’s our easiestandbest tip for kicking your work day off with happiness: The Level 5 Good Morning.
We call it that because there are several approaches to saying good morning at work:
Level 0: You ignore people completely Level 1: A somewhat unintelligible grunt Level 2: Saying good morning without looking at people Level 3: Make eye contact as you say good morning Level 4: Also say something more than just good morning, e.g. “How are you?” or something more personal. Level 5: Also touch the other person – e.g. a handshake or a pat on the shoulder. You can even hug, but only if you want to :-)
Please do not underestimate the effect of something as simple as saying good morning at school or work.
At what level are the typical good mornings in your school? And what would happen if you took it to level 5?
Today we are being introduced to idioms. 2021 KIPPsters your goal is to identify and analyze the meaning of idioms used in text! I'm so excited and would feel on top of the world if we all mastered this lesson today!
