Happy New Year!

I hope you and your family had an enjoyable break. It was certainly nice for me to spend time with family and friends within a whirlwind of holiday activities. Fast, furious, and good to be back.

Students were ready to return. Smiling faces tell the story as students arrived for our first day back.



Positivity Project
This week’s character strength is perseverance. Perseverance means you complete what you start despite obstacles. You never give up. The concept of perseverance can most often be found in one’s active pursuit in overcoming obstacles. Perseverance is a uniquely human characteristic that identifies an individual’s ability to spend long periods of time devoted to a single goal or set of goals. Those who persevere are able to set goals for themselves and then take active, calculated steps toward those goals. People demonstrating high levels of perseverance are able to handle significant, sometimes repeated, setbacks in pursuit of goals.


A Toast to the New Year
Grade 2 is setting New Year’s Resolutions! Students read the book Squirrel's New Year's Resolution, by Pat Miller. Then they wrote down some things they would like to improve on in 2019 in school and also at home. Our second grade students have set goals for themselves and will build on their strength to persevere in order to accomplish these goals.
