RES Rocket Weekly
April 29th - April May 3rd
A Week
Character Education and Mindset
April Mindset Focus: There’s A Difference Between Not Knowing and Not Knowing YET!
"Kindness is seeing the best in others when they cannot see it in themselves" -- RAKtivist
Let's remember to be kind to one another as we support each other in making positive choices and to lend a helping hand.....
Most importantly - when school work is difficult - remember that learning takes time!
"I can't do this yet, but I'm well on my way.
This doesn't work YET, but today is a new day.
I'll work really hard and embrace my mistakes.
I'll believe in myself and do what it takes.
With the power of YET I can set my own pace,
I know I will get through any challenge I face."
