October- The character word for October will be respect.
In October, students in 2nd grade, will be discussing the characteristics of Respect. We will be reading The Day the Crayon Box Quit. We will then discuss how we all have different qualities that make us a great person and we need to try and realize others qualities. We will talk about how we need to respect that we are all different. We will also be playing a respect game in the class about what is respectful and what disrespect looks like.
In grades 3-6, we will be discussing Harassment and how we need to respect others for who they are. We will be discussing how things we say make others feel. We will be playing a scoot game on what harassment and what kids being mean looks like.
Please take some time to discuss harassment and how we need to respect others these things with your students to help reinforce the lessons.
