From Mrs. Fairchild (School Social Worker)
Before break, we finished discussing the Be Responsible portion of our Bear Necessities in all the classrooms.  We have reviewed the words/actions of the week and in the older grades, your sons/daughters should have brought home a Find Someone Who paper to help them to tell you about what we’ve been learning.  The younger grades made a paper chain with the words on it that we hung in the hall.  The words we have been discussing are: be honest, be dependable, be persistent, be a good citizen, be assertive, be willing to compromise, be willing to ask for help, and be considerate.  Hopefully by the time your child is in 5th grade, they will have a good understanding of these terms.

Now that we have returned from break, we will start on the Be Respectful portion of our Bear Necessities. This includes: be respectful of yourself & others, be respectful of places & things, be empathetic, be a positive role model, be accepting of differences, be willing to include others, be cooperative & be humble.
