Birch Meadow’s character education program focuses on 6 themes of character: Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, Sportsmanship, Cooperation, and Caring. Respect is the character trait we will be focusing on this month. In order to reinforce Respect through literacy, all students will be listening to or reading the book Hey, Little Ant by Philip and Hannah Hoose. This book reinforces how students can be respectful to all animals and classmates. Teachers and staff will be looking for students showing Respect and we are encouraging parents to do the same at home. Your child will be bringing home a bear this week. Please reward your child when you see him/her showing Respect by filling out the bear with your child’s name, room number and what they did to show Respect. The bear will be added to the other bears in a container in the office and posted in the lobby. Mr. Sprung will read one bear from each grade level at our next assembly.
The bear will be returned to you at the end of the month. Thank you for your cooperation with this program, and we look forward to reading how your child has shown Respect at home!
THANK YOU!
