Thank you Christopher and Caden Groves for sharing your unique art with our students!  Be sure to stop by the library display case at WSIS to see the 100+ year old craft of wooden bowl making. 

From a raw block of cedar, to a beautiful wooden bowl!  Stay tuned for the Empty Bowls event in Nov!

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, October 3, 2019! As we continue our Cougar Crawl around Warm Springs Intermediate School, today we will take a look at raising student assets and a super important positive action thought:

PERSONAL POWER

Tell your teacher what you think the words "PERSONAL POWER" mean.
* "when children feel like they have influence over his or her life"
* "having the ability to control your outcome by making positive choices and life decisions" 

Having personal power.  What does that look like?  When we "believe" in ourself, we can achieve difficult challenges.  Each of YOU have the power to accomplish PAWsome things...from school work to goals...when you BELIEVE you can do it!  Like we saw yesterday, it takes HARD WORK!  And when we reach the finish line, we feel HAPPINESS.

Watch today's video...

Now, let's talk!  This runner had the ability to control his outcome!  He made a positive choice to "finish the race"!  When we choose positive actions, we have PERSONAL POWER over our own outcomes too!  Maybe a race, or maybe in school work, it is your choice to finish your work, which helps us succeed.  First, tell your teacher what happened in this video. Then, answer these questions:

1)  What person had a positive thought?

2)  Which person did a positive action?

3)  Who has positive feelings at the end of this video?

4)  Where you surprised?  Why?

5)  Talk about the HARD WORK you saw in this video.

6)  Do you see how with HARD WORK and BELIEVING in yourself, YOU can have personal power to succeed?  It happened in this video, didn't it?  Tell your teacher something YOU want to work hard at doing.

Cougars that have PERSONAL POWER 

can change the world!
