Peers - Raising the Roof...

...on student assets!  
Where ALL students are UNIQUE and WONDERFULLY MADE!

Today is Raising Student Assets Thursday!

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, Jan. 25th! As we continue to improve our positive thoughts, actions and feelings, today we will take a look at raising student assets and a super important positive action word(s):

PEERS

Tell your teacher what you think the word "PEERS" means. 
"a person of the same age and similar ability as another"

PEERS.  What do "peers" look like?  Well....take a look around your classroom.  Those sitting around you, classmates with similar age and abilities, friends with similar likes, from similar places (Morgan County), these are your PEERS.  Positive PEER influence helps us to make positive choices.  When our friends model positive and responsible behavior, this helps us to also have positive actions.  And, when you see friends like Pooh and Christopher Robin, peers (or positive friends) help encourage, support, and care for each other.  Watch this video:

When we hear our PEERS say positive words like this...

"Silly 'ole bear, 

you are braver than you believe

and stronger than you seem

and smarter than you think

but the most important think is

even if we're apart, 

I will always be with you"

...it helps us to have positive feelings about ourselves.

(Say Christopher Robins's lines together.)

Think of a peer, or friend in your classroom.  Today, tell them something positive like (or the same as) what Christopher Robin said to Pooh!

And remember, it is also important to know that here at Warm Springs Intermediate School, we are all part of a "cougar community" where positive actions start with...

YOU!

WSIS Cougars that have positive PEERS 

can change the world!
