Dec. 2, 2019 - MoTo Mondays for Hometown Holidays!

...where ALL students are UNIQUE and Wonderfully Made!

Welcome Back to Hometown Holiday PAWsitive Actions!

It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood!

Be sure to check out our Holiday Hearts available with Positive Action words from Morgan County Super Scholars who share their gifts in the community!  Find them on the "Deck the Meter" in downtown Berkeley Springs!  And, more "HOLIDAY TREASURES!" at Hunter's Hardware, since 1874!

Abby Cowels, Mrs. Hott, and Mrs. Sheima celebrating the holidays!

Mrs. Hott and Mrs. Sheima are SUPER excited to share Positive Actions with Morgan County students because today, and each Monday, is when we "motor-up" YOUR school week and get ready for more PAWsome days of learning and growing... 

"MOTO Monday!"    

or, "Motovation Monday" where we will see a vlog to get our week "motored-up" with positive thoughts, actions, and feelings!

Watch this:

"It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood!" Mrs. Hott grew up with Mr. Roger's Neighborhood where each episode celebrated kindness in the community.  I love that for Positive Actions, we try every day to share kindness too, just like Mr. Rogers!  Kindness helps us to achieve personal "wellness" or, a sense of health and well being.  Talk about what you saw in this video and how YOU can exercise kindness at school this week! (pause for discussion)

Our PAWsitive Action "word of the week"is:  wellness
And in Spanish:  bienestar
Try to say "bienestar"!

For Positive Actions, we are learning about wonderful words that build our Social and Emotional Wellness to help us all get along (at home, school, and in the community), raise our student assets, build confidence, and improve our academics! 

WELLNESS is.....
..."an active process of becoming aware of and making choices towards a healthy and fulfilling life. ... “Wellness is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or sickness.” 

In our next unit, we will learn more about POSITIVE character values, physical and intellectual wellness for our body and brain.  On the vlogcast this week, we will see features for a well community coming together for hometown holidays, students sharing talent, listening to others at home and school.  In the Positive Action classrooms, we will talk about physical wellness and holiday giving.  

Positive Actions will appear in our schools this year and begins today on a journey together to discover that starting with positive thoughts, we can choose positive actions, and help us to gain positive feelings!  Take a look at our logo:
