I hope you and your family had a nice holiday break and were able to spend some quality time together.
Positivity Project
On the Friday before the break we held our December Assembly where we focused on the character strengths of kindness and self-control. Unbeknownst to most of the staff, Miss O'Keefe taught the entire school a dance to do at the end of the assembly, featuring students exercising self-control at different points of the dance. Check out this video below:
This week and next week we will focus on the character strength of perseverance. Click here to read the Perseverance Character Card from the Positivity Project. Our learning target for these two weeks is: I can complete what I start despite obstacles. I never give up. Some of us will have to persevere to follow through with our New Year's Resolutions! Speaking of perseverance, our server was down yesterday so we couldn't access the internet using our computers. Our first grade teachers persevered, however, and hooked up their phones to the Promethean board. We couldn't let a day go by without a GoNoodle break!
