Empathy
~The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.~
Wondering what that bracelet your child is wearing (or not wearing) is all about?
At the end of each month Robertson students that have achieved "The Big Three" are provided a bracelet which gains them access to an extra recess on a Friday afternoon. The "Big Three" are:
- Missing no more than one day of school the previous month.
- Meeting their WIG (Wildly Important Goal) for reading in the month.
- Finish each school day on the rocket chart at green (ready to learn) or higher.
How did your child do last month? In October 46% of students accomplished "The Big Three." We are hoping for over 50% in November. Please encourage your child to set this as a goal.
