Teaching & Learning
Positivity Project: Theme of the Week: Social Intelligence
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Social Intelligence. Social intelligence means you are aware of other people’s thoughts and feelings. You understand why they do things.
Social intelligence refers to a person’s ability to understand and manage interpersonal relationships. It is distinct from a person’s IQ or “book smarts.” It includes an individual’s ability to understand, and act on, the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors of other people. This type of intelligence can take place “in the moment” of face-to-face conversations but also appears during times of deliberate thinking. It involves emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
Social intelligence helps individuals build relationships -- and is important to numerous aspects of a person’s life. It allows an individual to form friendships and alliances. And it assists a person against being taken advantage of. People with social intelligence can “read” other people’s faces and know what motivates them. Social intelligence builds over time and as a person ages. In this sense, it is similar to the character strength of perspective.
To practice and encourage the character strength of social intelligence with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2), where together you will watch a video, read a quote, and talk about the answers to three questions.
Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Jambeck's Art Students
Animal sculptures:
Students were reintroduced to Folk Art, and then we centered on a style of Folk Art known to Mexico, Oaxacan animal sculptures. They learned the meaning given to the different animals and that the designs painted on the animals had specific meanings too. Students learned how to work with Plaster Cloth and built the animal of their choice. They then had to paint it with multi-colored detailed designs.
Paintings:
The paintings were created after they learned all the Elements and Principles of Art. They used the Elements and Principles of Art to create a painting that had a specific feel for them. The painting was to be a place that was peaceful and calming for them; someplace to go and recharge. They had to make specific choices in their Elements and Principles to have a specific feel in their painting.
