Character Traits at Home
Cooperation and Teamwork
We've been working on a school wide quote project. We've had to cooperate and work as a teams to make decisions on which quotes we like best as a grade level. Look for the results of our work in the commons coming soon.
Collaboration
Many of our classes did Student Led Conferences with their families this fall. Students had to collaborate with their teacher and then their families as they shared what they've worked on in the first quarter of school.
Citizenship
I took my son with me to vote. I want him to understand the importance of voting and being an active citizen. We discussed the candidates, but I never tell him who I vote for because I want him to form his own opinions. He was quite interested in this election and did form his own opinions on several candidates/issues.
