Positivity Project - Love
The character strength of love represents the way we think, feel, and behave towards the people with whom we have close relationships. When one person loves another person, that person: comforts and makes the other feel safe; sacrifices on the other’s behalf; supports the other during struggles; and places the other’s needs ahead of his/her own. If you love a person, that person makes you feel safe and secure. You can be yourself with that person. You miss that person when he/she is not around.
The Parent virtue for Love 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.
Use the quotes and videos below to host discussion with your child.
"Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own." ~ H. Jackson Brown Jr.
"Love is an open door." ~Anna
Math Standards Support
A resource to support parents in understanding the math standards and the methods students are being asked to use today was added to our website as a result. Please follow this link to check out the resources and the corresponding quarter for which they are taught during the year.
The resources can also be found under the parent tab and is titled "Math Curriculum Support."
