This school year we have many new and exciting changes. Our school theme for the year is "Stick with Kindness". We hope each of our students, faculty and staff feel welcomed and safe at our school. We also have monthly themes. In August we learned about being a Bucket Filler. These are people who are kind and treat others with respect. We want to encourage our students to be kind wherever they are. When students are kind and do nice things for others it not only fills other people's buckets, but it also fills their own. This is based on the book by Carol McCloud, "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?"
Each month we focus on a different theme. September- Perseverance- I can do it if I put my mind to it. October- Goals- The result of my hard work. November- Gratitude- Be aware and thankful for the good things that happen. December- Growth- The progress I have made. January- Friendship- You can count on me. February- Service- The actions I do to help someone. March- Honesty- Being truthful with myself and others. April- Resilience- Never giving up even when things get tough. May- Celebrations- I can reflect and celebrate the learning process. These themes also go along with our Social Emotional Learning program this year. There are four units in our Second Step program. They are: Unit 1- Growth Mindset and Goal Setting Unit 2- Emotion Management Unit 3- Empathy and Kindness Unit 4- Problem Solving We are planning on a great school year!
