Respect - 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, April 19th! 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):

RESPECT

Tell your teacher what you think the word "RESPECT" means. 
"a feeling of admiration and regard for another person's feelings, wishes, rights, traditions, diversity"

RESPECT.  What does "respect" look like?  Can you think of a time when respect is important?   Watch this video (and dance if you dare!):

Did you hear these student rap some pretty awesome ways we can show respect?  What did you hear?  (respecting personal space, other's feelings, use nice words, etc....)

Let's talk.  Respect is also important when a disagreement, or conflict happens.  Students who try to use Positive Actions to solve a conflict are showing respect for both themselves and others!  

Think about this:  Was there ever a time when someone accidently bumped or "elbowed"  you in the lunch line?  Maybe it even caused you to stumble or drop something?  This may make you mad, right?  But, if that person says "I'm sorry!" ... YOU feel RESPECTED, which helps us to resolve the conflict in a positive.  

If you can think of a time this has happened to you, raise your hand, and share with your class.  And, the next time a student accidentally bumps in to you, don't get mad; instead, maybe they just need a second to say they are sorry before they see an angry face!  That is also showing respect!

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!

Cougars that RESPECT can change the world!

Compassion - 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, April 12th! 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):

COMPASSION AND EMPATHY

Tell your teacher, again, what you think the word "COMPASSION" means. 
"feeling concern for the suffering or misfortune of others"

You feel concern for others because we care.  The ability to "understand and share the feelings of another person" is EMPATHY.  

COMPASSION.  What does "COMPASSION look like?  Can you think of a time when compassion is important?   Watch this video:

Let's take a look at this video.  Which character showed compassion for another?

Who did that person show compassion for?

Why did that person need some compassion?

What did he do to let them know that he was concerned for their misfortune?

Showing compassion for someone who needs help is a Positive Action.  

Think of a time when you helped another person.  What did you do? Helping someone in need is a way to show compassion.  For Positive Actions today, show compassion to --

-- a friend a school that you know,

-- someone at school that you don't know very well,

-- a family member who you can help, and

-- an adult in your neighborhood/community.

Tomorrow, tell your teacher how you showed compassion.

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!

Cougars that show COMPASSION

Today is Raising Student Assets Thursday!

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, March 29th! 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:

COURTESY

Tell your teacher what you think the word "COURTESY" means. 
"showing politeness of one's attitude and behavior towards others"

COURTESY.  What does "courtesy" look like?  Do you know?  Today, we will take a look at "10 Rules of Common Courtesy", but first, watch this video:

Before we talk about the 10 rules of common courtesy, tell your teacher what was not courteous, or "rude," at this school.
Now, let's list 10 simple Rules of Common Courtesy together:

4)
5)
6)
