Trustworthiness is the Character Education Theme for March |
|
|
|
|
Monday, 05 March 2007 |
The theme for March is Trustworthiness. CharacterCounts.org lists the traits of Trustworthiness in its' Six Pillars of Character. These are:
- Be honest
- Don’t deceive, cheat or steal
- Be reliable — do what you
say you’ll do
- Have the courage to do the right thing
- Build a good
reputation
- Be loyal — stand by your family, friends and country
One of the best ways to teach children the importance of being trustworthy is through reading. Aesop's Fables - The Boy Who Cried Wolf and biographies of Abe Lincoln and George Washington are only a few of the millions of books for children with this character trait as its theme. Ask a librarian to help you find a good book.

Parents are reminded that Friday, March 16th has been changed to a regular student attendance day. Originally, this was a staff development day, but due to the loss of instructional days to weather closings, the Board of Education voted to use this day instead as a regular instructional day.

Welcome Back!
January marks the half-way point of the school year. I hope to see everyone back and that our school family is healthy and ready to take on new challenges. January is also the month when several of the New York State tests are given. For grades 3 through 8, students will take the English Language Arts test starting on January 9th.
Especially this time of year, we rely on the help of parents to ensure our students are healthy and well-rested so they can do their best on these state exams. Over the break, I found a great website www.kidshealth.org containing great tips for parents and learning activities for students. Visiting this site with your child is a fun way to open a discussion on staying healthy and establishing good health habits and bedtime routines.
Our Character Theme for this month is Tolerance. This is especially important message as this helps us learn to get along with others and understand that individual differences contribute to the success of our world. Tolerance and learning how to get along are a critical aspect of growing into mature and successful adults.
On January 18th, the 3rd and 5th graders will attend an Arts in Ed program at the JT Waugh building.
Also - don't forget January 15th is Martin Luther King Day and there will be no school on this day.
