This year, I
created “check in dinners”. Monday-Thursday, M, M, A as well as media
specialists M&B give up their seat at the head table and counselors sit
with me for dinner. I divided the staff into “teams” so every Monday I will
have dinner with the red team, Tuesday is the orange team, Wednesday is the
yellow team and Thursday is the green team. It is a great way to check in with
staff and also gives them a short break from kids. It’s only the first week,
but I love it already.
I am trying
to be intentionally more “hands on” this summer. It seems like I get so busy
with emails and paperwork that all of a sudden it is July and I realize I
haven’t had a chance to really talk with staff one on one or go out to
activities. So this year I am scheduling in time and even though it’s only been
4 days, I’m already doing better than ever and I feel more accessible to staff.
I am eager to do this for a few more weeks in a row and see how it goes.
