Community Cougars...that CARE!!! Apr 20, 2018

Today is FUN FRIDAY where we see that our community cares about the students at
Warm Springs Intermediate School

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, April 20th!! Each Fun Friday in Positive Actions, we will meet a new friend in our community that cares about YOU!  Today, we will meet another amazing friend from Morgan County, WV.  Meet Lori Hansroth!!!

Ms. Lori has a very important job. She is the Director for the Morgan County Chamber of Commerce.  She helps visitors and residents with knowing all the beautiful things about our awesome home, Morgan County, WV!  Ms. Lori says that in order to help have a caring community, she finds that saying "please" and "thank you" work! ...  Being Courteous is a Positive Action!
  
Here is today's video vlog from Mrs. Hott: 

Some days are hard; but with Positive Thoughts, Actions, and Feelings, YOU can make choices to help you and others have a Positive future!

Here are a few questions for you:  
1)  Think about someone in your family.  Tell your teacher one Positive Action that person did recently.
2)  Now, think about someone here in our school community.  What is one Positive Action you saw that you liked?  Next, be sure to tell that person "thanks!" for being Positive!
3)  And, think about someone from your neighborhood or community.  What Positive Action did you see that person do?  
(Share answers with each other.)

Remember, it is a Positive Action to follow the Golden Rule because changing the world starts with one student at a time...and that is.....

YOU!

(close with Golden Rule and sing along when ready!)

Hard Work - Value Video "V"ednesdays

...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, Oct. 4th!  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.  

Today's video takes a look at a students who are positive when they do HARD WORK.  When we work hard, we are making positive choices to become students with good moral and ethical qualities, striving for academic excellence.  Like building a wall, homework and positive grades all take Hard Work.

Watch today's VALUE VIDEO VEDNESDAY, and talk about which students illustrate positive hard work and the importance of thanking those pushing us to work hard(er) - like our friends and teachers:

Let's talk about it.

Discuss which brother showed a Positive Thought?
What are some frustrations the brothers shared?

Who shows a Positive Action?
Why do the boys feel positive?

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

Now, think of a person who you know that has made an effort to help you work hard. What did he/she do? 

"Don't ever tell me there's something you can't do?"  Who said that?  What do you think the dad meant?

Today, Mrs. Hott wants you to work hard and "build that wall"!

Equality...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, September 21st! 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 word:

EQUALITY

Tell your teacher what you think the word "EQUALITY" means.
* "social fairness or justice"
* "state of being the same"
* "every person has the same value"
* "Equality is the idea that all people are equal, regardless of age, gender, orientation, ethnicity, race, disability, or religious background."

Having equality.  What does that mean?   Watch today's video and listen to some students talk about "equality"...

Now, let's talk!  Let's all answer those questions too!

1)  What is equality?

2)  Should all people be equal?

3)  What should happen to people who don't treat others equally?

4)  Do you think that a "bully" feels equal to other students?  Why do you think a bully is a bully?

5)  If you see a bully, what can you do or say?

Take a look at the billboard below.  What do you think it means?

Cougars that REACH OUT with EQUALITY 

can change the world!
