ACHIEVEMENT - May 30, 2018

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

Today is VALUE VIDEO "V"EDNESDAY!  

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, May 30th!  On Wednesdays, we will be examining Value Video Vednesdays when we will take a look at positive values to help us grow into a caring cougar community of students at Warm Springs Intermediate School.  

Before we begin, I want to apologize for yesterday's technical issue with the video from my phone.  Here is that super beautiful USA flag again, now from youtube (hope it works!)


Today's video takes a look at people who are positive when they try to ACHIEVE.  With our student community wrapping up the school year, taking standardized tests, and completing your school work for report cards, many of you may experience frustrations or feelings like "Why do we need to do all this work?" or "What's it all for anyway?"  

But by participating in such activities, whether it be a research project, school academics, creative groups like dance, theater, arts or cheering, to athletics like basketball to soccer, each step we take to explore our CURIOSITY help us to discover what we like and what we are good at doing.  Each of you have a unique gift or talent; and, being curious about the world around you is a POSITIVE ACTION!  So, as you are participating in activities that promote daily ACHIEVEMENTS, you are preparing to have a positive future.

Listen along to today's vlogcast, and see if you can recognize a future with Positive Actions, because when you BELIEVE and TRY to think, act, and feel POSITIVE, you can ACHIEVE goals like the vlog sings about.  Pretty PAWsome stuff like BEing
TEACHERS, STUDENTS, LEADERS, ACHIEVERS, CHAMPIONS, POLITICIANS, PRINCIPALS, PREACHERS, LEADERS, TECHNICIANS, MECHANICS, ASTRONAUTS, BUILDERS, MAKERS,......YOU!

When we recognize and encourage ACHIEVEMENT in our world, we are making positive choices to become students with good moral and ethical qualities, helping us to achieve personal excellence.  And, we also have positive feelings when we ACHIEVE.

Watch today's VALUE VIDEO VEDNESDAY, and talk about who illustrates ACHIEVEMENT :






Let's talk about it.  Were you surprised?  Why?

Discuss who showed a Positive Thought?

Who shows a Positive Action?

What is the Positive Feeling you have when you see this video?

Now, think of a person who you know that has accomplished an ACHIEVEMENT. What did he/she do? 

Today, Mrs. Hott wants you to do a Positive Action too!  Imagine YOUR possibilities...Try it!  
BELIEVING AND TRYING ARE POSITIVE ACTIONS.

Makin' Music Monday - April 30, 2018

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

Welcome to Positive Actions Community Character Vlogcasts!  Today is Monday, April 30th, 2018!!! 

Mrs. Hott is SUPER excited to share Positive Actions with Morgan County students because today, and each Monday, is "Makin' Music Mondays!" where we celebrate in song our "PAW"some school!

Do YOU know that "the way we think about ourselves controls how happy, healthy, and successful we will be"?  In Positive Actions this year, we are discovering that we each have beautiful, unique characteristics that are all important and valuable to our Cougar Community, here, at school, and at home.

This week for your morning "community character vlogcasts," you will see from our awesome school community. Cutie the Cougar and Mrs. Hott meet with a friend from our own 4th grade who tells us what she wants to be when she grows up!  Just wait...she also shares a Positive Action she does: HELPING her dad feed the animals!   More vlogcasts will feature fun videos about being HELPFUL this week.  In fact, I challenge YOU to find ways to HELP in your home, school, and community too!   Just wait:  On Friday, Jimmy Farris from Roy's will tell us about how he HELPS people in trouble to get to their destination! Remember this...it is a Positive Action to help others because we ALL are valuable and have important contributions to share!  

Now, for today's vlogcast, we will see our magical, musical sing-along with a new featured friend who also HELPS others!   Meet Rich Ellis!  He is a dad, teacher, pastor, musician, and community youth and family advocate!  Mr. Rich also follows the Golden Rule!  And guess what?  Mr. Rich is very HELPFUL too!  Not only is he a substitute teacher, but he also helps children and families in the Morgan County community.  So, if YOU ever need help too, (or maybe your friends or family), just call 1 800 FOR-RICH!  Just kidding about that number; but if ya'll do ever need him, his real cell number is 304-270-8673. (He gave Mrs. Hott permission to share it.)  He is easy to find right downtown in Berkeley Springs, near CNB.

And now, appearing for his world premiere, debut perfectly positive version of Mr. Cable's Cougar Creed, I am pleased to introduce to you a PAWsome friend from our community! Please welcome....

RICH ELLIS and Cutie the Cougar!
singing to "Mr. Cable's Cougar Creed" 
Our teachers and/or students are invited to strum-along with their instruments and jam with your community and sing loudly to Mr. Cable's Cougar Creed.......and please, sing louder than Mrs. Hott. 





MR. CABLE'S COUGAR CREED
(chorus)
I can be kind
And caring too
For others and for me
It’s the right thing to do
I know that my home, school, and community
Have people who care about me

I know I am unique
There’s only one like me
Filled with valuable qualities
I’m made wonderfully
(chorus)

When I get up for school
I think of that Golden Rule
Treating others just and fair
Will show students I care

Be nice, be kind, be strong
We all want to get along
To make today the best
To all, I show respect
(chorus)

Positive Actions, I will choose
Helping others and my school
Get us all to reach our goals
With safe, responsible roles

We are all Cougars that Care
At school, at home, and play
Students can change the world
Beginning with today
(chorus)

Yay!  You ALL sound "PAW"some!!!  Did you sing louder than Mrs. Hott?  Great job!  

Did you notice anything different this week?  Whoops, what verse was missing in the video (wondering if you caught it...?)  If you did, raise your hand and sing it for your teacher/class!  

It was:
I know I am unique
There’s only one like me
Filled with valuable qualities
I’m made wonderfully
Let's try just that verse together one more time.  It's my favorite!

Thanks for joining in and singing "Mr. Cable's Cougar Creed"! Was that fun?  If time, try to sing again...just fast forward pass the intro and sing-along.

BONUS "IN THE NEWS":  This weekend, our WSIS Family was caught doing some Positive Actions!  Check this out:
