Short Month but Many Ways to Shine

  Each year in preparation of the 100^th day of school, first grade students are asked to visualize what life would be like when they turn 100 years old. Their responses are then recorded and displayed next to their incredibly creative artwork. Each year the responses generate a chuckle or two worth sharing. Enjoy their innovative ideas about aging!

“Good Character is what you think in your head, feel in your heart and do with your hands.”

This month’s character education highlights the traits honesty and trust. Mrs. Baily, Mrs. Shepard and Mrs. Schweitzer’s classes prepared skits to demonstrate students being honest and trustworthy.

Second graders led these role playing situations to help students understand that telling the truth sometimes involves admitting mistakes and accepting consequences while you try to make a situations right. 

What would you do if you found money on the floor?

Being trustworthy is doing what you know you should do even when you think no one is listening. Thank you to Mrs. Schweitzer for narrating the accompanying slide show!
