Talkin' Tues, 4/21/2020, RESPECT, GERM WEEK

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

Time for POSITIVE ACTIONS!

Today is TALKIN TUESDAY where we see that our school family of teachers, staff, and administrators care 
about the students in
Morgan County Schools!

And, where we will take a Positive moment each week to 
"Talk It Out"
and discuss important student issues.

We are so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, April 21, 2020! For each "Teacher Talkin' Tuesday" in Positive Actions, we will meet members of our school family community that care about YOU!  

Here is today's video vlog where first for GERM WEEK, we share KNOWLEDGE to help us understand and stay healthy; then, we have a special treat to cheer you all up,...a friend from Widmyer Elementary:  Ms. Amber Stotler!  Watch this:

That was fun!

Next, watch this!

That was fun!  

Show us how YOU wash your hands!  Film you and your family at home washing your hands; Email Mrs. Hott at angie@morganpartnership.org

And, we will share your Hand Washing on the Daily PAWsitive Action Community Vlogcast! 

Why? Because it is a PAWsitive Action!

And, YOU are helping our community stay HEALTHY!

Guess what is next?!?  Since our Positive Action Word of the Week is respect, and in Spanish:  respeto.  We have a question for YOU!

YOUR student assets are what will help you succeed here at school and as you grow up.  When we learn more about each other, it helps to create a caring school climate, which is an essential external developmental asset. 

So, guess what that means?!  We want to learn more about YOU too!  For Positive Actions each Tuesday, you will have the opportunity to share something new about yourself, and since we have a break from school, share it with your family.  It is "Talk It Out Time!"  

Here is what we want you to do.  I will give you a completely different question each Tuesday, and you will share with your family and friends something brand new or unknown about yourself!  If you want, maybe you can ask your parent to DoJo your answer to your teacher OR you can email us at angie@morganpartnership.org.  

So, for today's "Talk It Out," are you ready?  Here is our discovery question:

"Who is someone you RESPECT?"

I'll go first.  Hi!  My name is Mrs. Hott.  Someone I respect is Mrs. Kristen Tuttle!  Here she is:

Mrs. Tuttle is the Superintendent of Morgan County School.  I respect Mrs. Tuttle because she is a caring person, inspires others, and manages our county schools with a Positive Personality.  She is always ready to listen and encourage others too!  Mrs. Tuttle has ALL the "respect basics"....see:

YOUR turn!  "Who is someone YOU respect?" Now, let them know!  Do a Positive Action!  You can call/text/email/write that person and say:  "I respect you!"

"Talking it out" starts with one student at a time...and that is.....

YOU!

Morgan County Scholars who

RESPECT/RESPETO

can change the world!

Here is tonight's "Tucked-In Tuesday!" @ 7pm
Next Tuesday, 4/28, with Matt reading
"Can I Be Your Dog!"

(Watch below or click this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=987NY6VOAKY):

That was fun!

Guess what is next?!?  Since our Positive Action Word of the Week is caring, and in Spanish:  cuidando.  We have a question for YOU!

YOUR student assets are what will help you succeed here at school and as you grow up.  When we learn more about each other, it helps to create a caring school climate, which is an essential external developmental asset. 

So, guess what that means?!  We want to learn more about YOU too!  For Positive Actions each Tuesday, you will have the opportunity to share something new about yourself, and since we have a break from school, share it with your family.  It is "Talk It Out Time!"

So, for today's "Talk It Out," are you ready?  Here is our discovery question:

"How do you feel when others are 
CARING for you?"

I'll go first.  Hi!  My name is Mrs. Hott.  I feel POSITIVE when others are caring to me!  Maybe it is a text from family or a FaceTime with a friend, it makes me feel loved when other let me know they care.  And, like that Golden Rule, it makes me want to BE caring too!

YOUR turn!  "How do YOU feel when others are caring for YOU?" Now, tell us what it is!  

"Talking it out" starts with one student at a time...and that is.....

YOU!

Morgan County Scholars who are

CARING

can change the world!

"Spring is finally here! To celebrate the joys of spring and a world in bloom, we've shared 30 of our favorite children's books about spring and the joys of gardening in a new blog post. The Mighty Girls in these stories love to stomp in spring showers, dig in the dirt, and celebrate the beauty that comes with a world that's being reborn!

For more books about KINDNESS HEROES from A Mighty Girl:

"Every pandemic has its heroes -- and during the height of the HIV/AIDS pandemic of the 1980s and 1990s -- a 25-year-old woman in Arkansas became one of the many courageous people around the world who chose compassion over fear. In 1984, Ruth Coker Burks' discovery of a hospital room door with a "big, red bag" over it and her encounter with the dying young man inside changed her life and led her to becoming the final caregiver for hundreds of people dying of AIDS, most of them young gay men who had been abandoned by their families. When Burks learned how many young men were being left to die alone and often were not even being claimed for burial, she recalls thinking, "Who knew there’d come a time when people didn’t want to bury their children?”  Burks estimates that she helped care for over 1,000 people dying of AIDS and even dug the graves for 40 of them herself in her family's cemetery. To read her inspiring story, visit https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=27159

For books that help foster children's compassion for others by giving them a visual way to think about kindness, we highly recommend "Have You Filled a Bucket Today: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids" for ages 4 to 8 (https://www.amightygirl.com/have-you-filled-a-bucket-today) and its sequel "Growing Up With A Bucket Full Of Happiness" for ages 9 to 12 (https://www.amightygirl.com/growing-up-with-a-bucket)  This book is tomorrow's feature!

For picture books about importance of kindness, visit our blog post, "25 Children's Books That Teach Kids to Be Kind," at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=19359

And, for a fascinating account of how citizens and scientists came together to successfully halt the AIDS epidemic, we recommend "How to Survive a Plague" at https://amzn.to/2DwPlan

Ruth Coker Burks cared for over 1,000 people during the height of the AIDS epidemic, most of whom had been rejected by their families.
