Guidelines for Behavior

Our school only has 3 rules or guidelines for behavior that cover most any situation. They are:

• You may do anything that does not create a problem for you or anyone else in the world.
• If you find yourself with a problem, you may solve it by any means that does not cause a problem for anyone else in the world.
• You may do anything that does not jeopardize the safety or learning of yourself or others. Unkind words and actions will not be tolerated.

We discussed these as a crew and then signed our names to show that we all agreed to live by these rules. (You will notice that we shortened that last rules a bit in our discussion. You can click on the picture to see a larger version of it.)

Character Trait
We will be focusing in on one character trait at a time. First, we have been studying perseverance. Perseverance means continuing to try even when things are challenging. We read the book Sink or Swim about a cow who wants to learn to swim and perseveres through many problems to finally become successful. Perseverance is a great trait to remember when we are learning something new. Ask your child how he or she can show perseverance at home and at school.

Homework
Be ready for our Voyage tomorrow. Come with sunscreen on, a lunch and 4 snacks, a water bottle and any other gear that you did not bring today.

When we return to school, you can meet us for pick up over by the end of the school that is next to the Early Childhood Center. We will not be standing in our regular spot by the bike racks.
