Please take another look at the 5-Deep Roster activity and place your name next to any student who you know.  Once a student has 5 Names - they don't need any more. Our time is running out to get this completed!  Link to the 5 Deep Rosters

Over the last several months I've been convicted more than ever before to choose face to face or phone conversations instead of email.  Not all the time, but certainly when I think the message could be perceived as negative, I need to see/hear the other persons feedback, or I need to build or repair a relationship. Email, just isn't getting it!  I read this Blog (marketing publication, but still relevant)  last week and wanted to share with you.

6 Reasons Why a Phone Conversation Is Better Than An Email 

A few statements that got my attention......

"Even when you’re careful, the email messages that you send are full of possibilities for misinterpretation. In contrast, the back and forth dialogue of a phone conversation gives you the opportunity to communicate beyond your words. The tone and rhythm of your voice indicate both meaning and emotion."

"Volleying emails back and forth on an issue is not very efficient. Instead of spending hours or days to get something resolved via email, it’s possible that a brief conversation can get more accomplished in a shorter amount of time."

"Consider situations where there is ambiguity or when you predict that clarification will be needed. In these cases, real-time communication via telephone can be more effective."
