Watkins Word
Parent Edition for Week of September 7-14
Week 2
Week 2 was filled with lots of learning about the super power we all possess known as kuleana. Kuleana is what we have to do in order keep our obligations, relationships and achieve our goals. It is the pathway that guides us along the journey toward reaching our dreams. Talk with your child about setting some goals and then discuss what it is going to take for him or her to get there.
Kuleana: What the what?
How do we want to be treated?
Each class reflected on how they want to be treated, how their friends want to be treated, and how their teacher wants to be treated.
Social Contract
They used the answers to the discussion questions to work together to create a social contract that outlined the behaviors they promised to show.
Superhero Power
They then created superheroes and discussed that their super powers are the things they do to get them where they want to be.

Take time tonight to sit with your child and talk about their day. Try using these questions instead of "How was your day?". It will help your child give more specific answers instead of the generic responses we always get.
- What was the best/worst thing about today?
- Tell me something that made you laugh today?
- How did you help someone today?
