Words of the Month for June: Fairness and Cooperation
Week of May 29:
June 2: Fairness Phrase of the day: “Fairness is making sure all are treated with the kindness and respect they deserve.” Fairness is giving everyone a chance to have it their way when playing and listening to all ideas when working together. Peacemaker Challenge: Listen to everyone’s ideas and give everyone a turn to decide what to play.
Field Day Pictures
Please help us if you took pictures at Field Day. You can certainly put your child's picture on social media but request that you do not put pictures of groups of students. Many families do not want their child's picture on social media and we do not have permission to do that.
