CEL to Ponder:
SE4 Opportunity and support for participation and meaning-making
The teacher sets expectations and provides support for engagement strategies and structures that facilitate participation and meaning-making by students. All students have the opportunity to engage in discipline-specific meaning-making. Meaning-making is often student-led.

A Little Humor:
-How do ghosts send letters? Through the ghost office.
-Why do ghosts make the best cheerleaders? They have a lot of spirit!
-What's a skeleton's favorite song? "Bad to the Bone."
-Why can't skeletons play church music? Because they have no organs.
-Chuck Norris doesn’t endorse any Halloween candy companies. They endorse him!
-Chuck Norris doesn’t endorse any Halloween costume manufacturers. They endorse him!

A Thoughtful Moment:
A Wise Owl-
There was an old owl who lived in an oak tree. Every day, he observed incidents that occurred around him.Yesterday, he watched as a young boy helped an older man carry a heavy basket. Today, he saw a young girl shouting at her mother. The more he saw, the less he spoke.
As the days went on, he spoke less but heard more. The old owl heard people talking and telling stories.
He heard a woman saying an elephant jumped over a fence. He heard a man saying that he had never made a mistake.
The old owl had seen and heard what happened to people. Some became better, and some became worse. But the old owl in the tree had become wiser each day.
The Moral
Be more observant. Talk less and listen more. This will make us wise.
