Enthusiasm!
This week's character strength focus is enthusiasm! Enthusiasm means you approach life with excitement and energy. You energize people around you. It is the ability to bring life and excitement to different situations. Each week the people at the Positivity Project include a video for educators as an example of the week's character trait. The excitement and enthusiasm in this video brought me to tears! (Full disclosure: I remember seeing this while I was in college. I know some most of you weren't even born yet!)
The 100th Day
Last week we celebrated the 100th day of school! Here is a short video of Mrs. Ciciarelli who is teaching remote kindergarten this year. We were happy she shared this video of herself because we look forward to seeing, and especially hearing, "Mrs. Flannery" each year.
For the 100th day celebration the students completed a variety of activities that demonstrated they were 100 days smarter. In addition, some dressed as though they were 100, some drew a picture of what they would look like and be doing when they were 100, some made 100 day hats, and in Mrs. Devereaux's kindergarten class students had to use their knowledge of numbers and their fine motor skills to glue together a picture puzzle of themselves, creating their own 100s chart.
