I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, March 12th!! For each "Teacher Talkin' Tuesday" in Positive Actions, we will meet a new member of our school family community that cares about YOU!
As we listen to our school family share their dreams, how hard they worked/studied, when they were little, stories of their life, and how Positive Actions helped them, we learn a little more about each other. Discovering about each other's life helps us to understand why and how we become who we are.
Here is today's video vlog from Mrs. Hott where we will get to meet someone special you all love and remember, Ms. Ginnie Molnar! I thought it would be fun to visit those important people from our school family who helped us when we used to be students at Widmeyer.
That was "PAW"some! Thanks for coming to see us Ms. Molnar!

YOUR student assets are what will help you succeed here at school and as you grow up. When we learn more about our teachers and staff, it helps to create a caring school climate, which is an essential external developmental asset.
So, guess what that means?! Your teachers also want to learn more about YOU too! For Positive Actions each Tuesday, you will have the opportunity to share something new about yourself with your teacher and classmates. It is "Talk It Out Time!" Each week, we will share one brand spanking new thing about our selves.
Here is what Mrs. Hott wants you to do each week. I will give you a completely different topic, and you will share with your teacher and friends something brand new or unknown about yourself! Just watch the discoveries...we may find that someone in our class we don't know very well may have something in common with us! Or, we may be completely and crazily different. And, guess what?!...That is OK! It is a Positive Action to learn about our community's likes and respect each other's differences.
So, for today's "Talk It Out," are you ready? Here is our discovery question:
"What is your favorite FLOWER?"
Wait, that's not so hard, right? After you tell us what your favorite flower is, also share WHY you like that flower.
I'll go first. Hi! My name is Mrs. Hott. My favorite flower is a dandelion! I like dandelions because, they have an awesome name, don't they? "Dande" is such a fun sounding word, and "lion" are pretty cool cats, right? Look at this:
Oh sure, I know that some may feel that dandelions are weeds; but, I actually love their bright yellow color, watching their seeds travel through the air, and remember many hours making necklaces from dandelions.
Pretty awesome, right? Now, it's YOUR turn! When you are ready to share, raise your hand then tell us YOUR favorite flower and why! 1, 2, 3,... Let's discover...
That was awesome too! You ALL just did a positive action by sharing something about yourself. It is positive because it helps us to better understand each other.
To close, we will finish Talkin Tuesdays with a chance for you to share something important with your teacher. Is there something you feel like "if my teacher only knew...." it would help her/him understand you better? What is new this week you can tell your teacher? For example, if my teacher knew how hard I tried or I really did do my best on our spelling words, you may feel more positive! Or, if my teacher only knew why I was late again, maybe she/he can help me, etc.
In your Positive Action folder, you will find a Talk It Out Tuesday page. Here, write one thing down you wish your teacher knew about your week. Sometimes it helps to get our thoughts together when we write it down. And, if you need to talk later, just ask your teacher, parent, friend, or me, Mrs. Hott by saying "May I please share a "talk it out" with you?"
Remember, sometimes our negative thoughts can turn positive just by telling or sharing with another person! It is a Positive Action to "peacefully resolve our conflicts" too with others at home, school, and our community. "Talking it out" starts with one student at a time...and that is.....
YOU!
WSIS Cougars who talk it out
can change the world!
