Character Pack #2 is in the Books!
We enjoyed two books! Happy Right Now, by Julie Berry and A Little Spot of Happiness, by Diane Alber. Both of them offered some great strategies for recognizing how we can grow our own happiness when we need it. Students have a cute little spot of happiness on their desk or in their locker to remind them of their personal positive powers.
Our Bulldogs came up with LOTS of ways to grow their own happiness! We know that how we see the world has a lot to do with how we're feeling about ourselves, and choosing a positive attitude - fueling our ride with positive energy - makes a difference not only for ourselves, but for those around us, too. It's just easier to be around people who are making positive choices, and sharing positive energy. We're all working hard to learn how to be the kind of friend and classmate that anyone could feel safe and comfortable hanging out with all day.
Thank you for sharing your positive energy with your children, our team and our community. I am so grateful for the opportunities I have here at Belmont to share my positive energy with all of you. Even the challenges allow us to help our children and staff grow. I hope that your weekend is filled with happiness and fueled with positive energy!
