- NEW OPTIONS - Positivity Project
JOB WELL DONE!! For all who have put their best foot forward on this Positivity Project!! Please continue to make an attempt each day and each week to expose our kids to the the character strength of the week.
We are in the 16th week of our P2 journey!!! Each of you have been creative with your approach to Positivity Project. I have taken the time to condense the weekly information again. I have mapped out the topics for the remaining of January. My hope is that with all the things going on teachers (all teachers) can find ONE piece of Positivity Project to discuss with kids. The initial point is for our students to be exposed and engaged in what positive character traits are.
