Counseling
Who’s Wise Words
In our community, we will be
Kind
Respectful
Responsible
and
Safe.
We've implemented a school wide positive behavior system focused on recognizing kindness, responsibility, respect and safety around school. You may have noticed new posters around school, and may have heard your children talking about "positive pellets" teachers have been distributing when we notice kids doing the right thing around school.
We are slowing down to focus on the direct instruction of expectations of behavior in all locations around school: bathrooms, hallways, playground, buses, the multi-purpose room, and classrooms. Teachers are taking their classes around to each of these locations to discuss expected behavior and go through what we want to see from students around school.
From Ms. Cormier:
Stella and I talked a lot this week about perseverance. The focus on continuing to try and using positive self-talk even when things get hard was the theme, and we played games and watched a video to practice. The video“Ormie the Pig” showcased a pig that tried many different ways to taste the cookies from the cookie jar, and many of these younger students wanted you to see the clip too, so I told them I would pass it along here. Who’s Crew is working on some pieces for a podcast and completing a video on Respect and the News Crew continues to generate fun ideas for their next issue. I look forward to seeing many of you around school tomorrow for conferences, please feel free to pop in and say hello to Stella and me. Enjoy your weekend!
