  1. Hey, otters, it's your dean of students, Mrs Firth.
  2. Welcome back.
  3. It's 2021.
  4. We're officially done with the year 2020 and I'm hopeful,
  5. as I'm sure most of you are, but 2021 is
  6. going to be a better year for us than 2020
  7. turned out to be.
  8. So let's talk about what's new in the virtual office
  9. this week.
  10. So our dean messages new, and we have a new
  11. positive affirmation to kick off 2021.
  12. Our book recommendation and read aloud.
  13. Corner is updated.
  14. We're going to be starting a new book.
  15. It's a shorter book, but I think it's one that
  16. a lot of you would be very interested in, especially
  17. if you have read the book.
  18. Wonder by our Jay Palacios or you've seen the movie
  19. Wonder. I think this book is right up your alley,
  20. so make sure you check that out, and then our
  21. Otter radio this week is just to welcome you back
  22. because we're so happy that you're back and that it's
  23. 2021 that we're gonna finish out the rest of our
  24. school year strong.
  25. So we're going to continue with our positive affirmations into
  26. this year.
  27. And before we went on break, we looked at all
  28. of my problems have solutions today And as we move
  29. into 2021 we kicked, we kicked this week off our
  30. positive affirmation.
  31. We're going to say to ourselves to start this year
  32. off is today I am a leader.
  33. I love this because for me this means Today I
  34. am going Thio not follow the crowd today I am
  35. not going Thio be left behind.
  36. Today I am a leader and leadership looks so many
  37. different ways.
  38. It doesn't mean that you have to be front and
  39. center doing everything, but it means can be very quiet
  40. leadership things too.
  41. But, you know, leadership can look like, um you know,
  42. following those expectations Or, um, you know, making sure that
  43. you're one of the first ones to participate in a
  44. discussion and kind of leading the charge and inviting others
  45. to participate as well.
  46. Um, those Airways, that you could be a leader and
  47. I truly believe that every single one of us has
  48. the ability to be a leader inside each and every
  49. one of us.
  50. So, um, today you are a leader today I am
  51. a leader and I want you to continue saying that.
  52. And I want you to also think about what does
  53. it mean to be a leader synchronously?
  54. What does it mean to be a leader at home?
  55. What is what is it going to mean to be
  56. a leader when we're back at school?
  57. So I want you guys to think about that.
  58. Other than that, I want you guys to keep up
  59. the good work.
  60. We are so happy that we're back together and we
  61. know that, um there may be a shift at some
  62. point of what school is gonna look like.
  63. But for right now, we're going to continue with rocking
  64. our synchronous and asynchronous learning.
  65. I know your teachers air super excited that you guys
  66. air back.
  67. We are working hard to put some things together so
  68. you guys can feel connected to us.
  69. And that information is going to be coming soon.
  70. Until that time, take care.
  71. And as always, you are never far from my thoughts
