Kids Deserve It! Chapters Twelve and Thirteen
“All conferences should include some celebration of the kids and their strengths” (91.) Next week is conferences. What are your plans to celebrate the positives in each of our students, to encourage and support them in achieving their full potential? This week, be encouraged to see beyond behaviors masking the abilities within each child. Understanding student differences allows us to open doors for them, to help them believe that they can do things all by themselves. We empower our students when we remove barriers. We have so much to be thankful for here at Richmond Elementary, and as we move into the Season of Giving let’s reach out to our High Fives with notes celebrating individual student strengths. You will find five notes in your mailboxes. Please take the time over the next week to compete one note for each of your High Fives, delivering them directly to students, to their teacher for conference folders, or drop them in my mailbox and I’ll get them mailed to families. Sign your name on the bottom or use an anonymous name (perhaps Secret Spartan.) Imagine the impact you will make on each student’s life… because our Kids Deserve It!
