Makin' Music Mondays - Feb. 26, 2018

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

Welcome to Positive Actions Community Character Vlogcasts!  Today is Monday, February 26, 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 our awesome staff - Mrs. Rosignol!  YAY!   Also, we will watch and learn about how CONFIDENCE is a Positive Actions.  You will be surprised why a little girl needs a very large empty suitcase!  And finally, Fun Friday takes us this week to Kesecker Realty with super friendly, Mrs. Teri Walters!

In the Cougar Den, we will continue to focus on Positive Actions for our INTELLECTUAL WELLNESS, reviewing those great value words, CURIOSITY, CREATIVITY, KNOWLEDGE, and PROBLEM SOLVING (or challenges!).  This week, we talk about "training your brain" using MEMORY!  YOU will find a memory challenge from a very special friend, Ms. Sheima, who has a SURPRISE for YOU!!!  Exercises for our brain to boost intellectual wellness helps us all with social and academic achievement!

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.

Begin every day with Positive Actions:

Get Ready for a POSITIVE school week! 

Cougars that are POSITIVE
can change the world!

Relationships - 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, Jan. 18th! 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):

RELATIONSHIP

Tell your teacher what you think the words "RELATIONSHIP" means. 
"the way in which two or more people are connected"

Look at this picture.  What do you notice?

Were you surprised at all the different colors?  (LOL!) Mrs. Hott's favorite Broadway show says "Together we can defy gravity, for good!" This week every year, we talk about a famous man, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was an activist and leader in the civil rights movement not so long ago.  Look at this:

Remember this WSIS Cougars, when YOU choose to care about ALL students in your classroom, regardless of what color they may be, who their friends are, what their gifts are, you are choosing to love and not hate.  That is a Positive Actions that will give you good feelings.

And....

Remember, it is a Positive Action to do what is RIGHT, not what is easy.  Being KIND and saying "hi" to ALL others, helps our community build positive relationships, especially those who are different from you. 

RELATIONSHIP.  What does "RELATIONSHIP" look like?  Positive relationships with teachers and students provide a caring, encouraging environment.  A caring school climate helps to raise student assets.  Watch this video:

What did this school do to encourage a positive relationship?  Think about a positive relationship you recognize at your school.  (share with your teacher).  One way to help build positive relationships is to try to do what we can to stop bullying.  What are some things we can do if we see a friend being bullied?

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!

WSIS Cougars that surround themselves in positive RELATIONSHIPS can change the world!
