Makin' Music Mondays - June 4, 2018

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

Welcome to Positive Actions Community Character Vlogcasts!  Today is Monday, June 4, 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 a surprise friend for Teacher Talkin' Tuesdays that you have never met before.  In fact, she is very young, and some day will be a WSIS Cougar just like you guys!  Hmmmmmm....wonder who it could be?  You'll have to wait until tomorrow to discover!  

Also, we will watch and learn about how CONFIDENCE is a Positive Action, a positive value to help us believe in ourselves. And finally, Fun Friday takes to our Morgan County Board of Education, where we will listen to our Superintendent once again, Mr. Erich May!


Now, for today's vlogcast, we will see our magical, musical sing-along with a featured school family community group!  Appearing for their world premiere, debut perfectly positive version of Mr. Cable's Cougar Creed, I am pleased to introduce to you a PAWsome group from our school community! Please welcome....

Ms. Faith's 3rd Graders

  Our teachers and/or students are invited to strum-along with their new instruments and jam with your school 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!  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.

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!

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.
