"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - December, 3 2018
Kindness!
This week our students will learn about Kindness. The definition of Kindness is when you are generous to others and you are never too busy to help out. You enjoy doing good
deeds for other people.
The parent virtue for Kindness is Humanity. Strengths of humanity involve caring interpersonal relationships with others, particularly in one-to-one relationships. Strengths comprised in this virtue are love, kindness, and social intelligence.
Please use these quotes and videos to host a discussion with your children.
"Carry out random acts of kindness, with no expectation of reward safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you." ~Princess Diana
"Happiness is stepping out of your world to make someone else's better." ~Unknown
DreamBox!
Our goal is to ensure all students complete 6-8 lessons weekly. Please help us by talking to your child about how many lessons they have completed on DreamBox and ask them about what they are learning.
Note: If you are watching your child use DreamBox and they need assistance...teach them to use the orange ? button at the top AND do not teach them. This helps the program learn your child's needs and differentiates based on their performance.
Lost and Found!
All items not claimed by December 21 will be taken to a local charity over the winter break. Please stop in and claim your items soon!!
