"MoTo" Mondays on August 26, 2019

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

  

Mrs. Hott is 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!

Our PAWsitive Action "word of the week"is:  SAFETY

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! 

This week, we will see our school family practice PAWsitive behavior that shows SAFETY in our school community! Let's take a look at another community called a "pride" where a diverse group of animals live together in harmony too.  Maybe you have seen this movie over the summer?

Watch today's "MOTO Monday" vlogcast. 

Did you hear that? Mrs. Hott loves those lyrics (song words)!  The next time you see the Lion King, imagine you each are Simba.....

From that day you arrived here at school
All blinking and stepped off the bus
There's more to see, than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done!

There's far so much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high, across our Morgan County sky
Keeps PAWsitive and safe at school and around

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:

 Berkeley Springs is a unique community to live and grow up. And, just like that stream in the video is full of many drops of water, our schools are also filled with unique and wonderfully made children.  When we add them all together, and mix in some positive acts of kindness, we've made a beautiful pool of water.  
Today, we will begin looking at my favorite value word:  Kindness.
Check out this cool picture:
(Teacher, please read to class:)

Every act of Kindness, no matter how small, creates a ripple out and reaches our community around us.  Whether we are home, at school, or somewhere in our community, being kind is a Positive Action that helps us, and others, feel good.
What is Kindness?
Think of an act of kindness YOU did this summer.  Got one?  Raise your hand and share this with your class.
Now, for Positive Actions today, our students are going to begin to make our school a Community that Cares!"  With just one act of kindness...it begins with YOU!
What kind thing can you do today?

Get Ready for a POSITIVE school year...filled with Kindness!

Stand up everyone!  

Push in those chairs!

and...sing along to the Morgan County Kids' Creed!

Did you like that?  If you are in 3rd grade, you will get to learn this song with us too!  

Students that are KIND and SAFE
can change the world!
