Bobcat Buzz
Volume 1, Week 14 December 1, 2017
Welcome to Our House "Where Character Matters"
Dear Botsford Families,
Our Bobcats met in their "dens" this morning to continue our focus on coloring our world with kindness. Our students viewed the video that I have attached below and did a sorting activity centered around the difference between kind and unkind acts. We also introduced the problem solving wheel to our students.
Students are being encouraged to seek peace and to work to resolve conflicts by gathering ideas from the problem solving wheel. A problem solving wheel will be hung in every classroom and at the exits to our gym. We are also working to get enlarged copies of the problem solving wheel for the exits to the playground.
Please ask your child what he or she learned about for problem solving and dealing with conflicts in a kind way. We will be honoring those students who use the problem solving wheel with a "character matters" card. We will be meeting again on Friday, December 15th when the yellow house will host our den meeting.
