🎨"2021 Family Art Therapy Week 18" COURTESY/CORTESÍA with Ms. Mandi, BSW🎨

This week’s projects are going to be related to the Positive Action Word of the Week- COURTESY / CORTESÍA!

This is when you are polite, respectful and considerate to others. Using your manners is a way to be courteous.

Your projects can be uploaded and emailed to me at:

amanda.knepper@k12.wv.us OR amanda@morganpartnership.org

Please check the links on PositiveValuesNetwork.com for other art therapy projects and Positive Action videos.

Monday- Project: Growing Skills to Become Courteous

Materials: You will need your family members to discuss ideas for your flowerpots. These can be placed around your home to add a beautiful touch to your decor or you can place them outside in your flowerbed. Each person should have their own materials to complete this project.

Option 1) you can use clay flowerpots or plastic ones (as long as you can decorate them), paints of different colors, paint brushes, water to wash your brushes, and paper towels.

Option 2) Tissue paper of different colors, Modge Podge, brush, scissors- if you choose this option you will tear small pieces of tissue paper, place over the flowerpot, use your brush to lightly brush small amounts of Modge Podge over the tissue paper adhering the paper to the pot. Repeat this step until your flowerpot is completely covered. You can also use scissors to cut out shapes, then use Modge Podge to place them where you would like.

Both options are shown in the pictures below.

While your family is creating this project together, think about ways to compliment each other’s ideas. What do you like about their creations? Did you know that giving someone a compliment is also a way of being courteous? Do you like receiving compliments? Do you enjoy complimenting others?

Tuesday- Project: I am Courteous When I Use My Manners. How Do You Use Yours? Materials: You will need your family members, a large piece of paper, pencils, erasers,

crayons, colored pencils, or whatever you would like to use to color with.

You and your family will brainstorm how you are COURTEOUS to others by using your manners. Some examples would be: sharing, being kind, being helpful, holding the door for someone, complimenting someone etc. Together, you will create a picture of your family doing for others in the community. Once you have created your artwork, you will then write a few sentences about your picture to explain the importance of being COURTEOUS. How does it make you feel to do things for other people? How do they respond when you show acts of kindness? There is a picture attached as an example. You can choose to draw several little pictures or one large one. Use your imagination and be creative with this activity.

Wednesday- Project: Watercolor Courtesy

Materials: You will need your family members, watercolors, brushes, a cup of water, paper towels and paper to create your pictures on. You can choose to make one large picture if you would like or several small ones.

Your family will choose an activity you enjoy doing over Summer break together like camping, fishing, gardening, or going to the beach. It can be anything you do together as a family. While using the watercolors to create your masterpiece, you will ask another member of your family to borrow something they have. Patience and manners are very important when asking to share or borrow something. You can say something like “may I please borrow...?” “I really like that blue; may I use it?” You can also compliment your family on their creations. Thank them when they compliment your artwork. Did you know that compliments are a way to be courteous and kind? Did you share your items with others?

Thursday- Project: Paper Fans for Someone Special

Materials: There are a few different ways to make paper fans. You can use popsicle sticks, paper, glue, crayons, markers, and a brad to hold the popsicle sticks together at the bottom. Or you can choose to use paper, decorate it, and then fold it like an accordion, and add tape or staple the end so it stays fastened. To hide the tape/staple you can wrap a ribbon around the bottom to make a cute handle. There are pictures below to show both examples.

You will sit with your family while making this project and share your supplies, while remembering your manners when you use things someone else is using. Remember to say please and thank you.

When this is complete, you will give your fan to someone special. Pay attention to their expression when you give it to them. Did they say, “thank you?” Were they appreciative that you gave them your fan? How did it make you feel to give something you made to someone else? Talk with your family about these questions and feelings you are experiencing associated with gift giving.

Friday- Project: Something Old, Something New, Something Melted, Something Used

Materials: white paper, old crayons, a hairdryer, tape, and your family members (you can choose to add an image if you like)

Every person is unique in their own way, so we should be gentle/courteous with our words when we are communicating. It is important to remember that each person is special, like when you look at a rainbow, each color is vital. Without one of the colors, it would not be the rainbow. Including others in activities is a way to be courteous. When someone is excluded, or left out, “the rainbow is not complete.” It is important that each person feels special and valued because we are all wonderfully made.

Gather your materials and sit around a table with your family. Each person will be included with this project so taking turns with the hairdryer will be essential. You will discuss where you would like to place your crayons, what image you are trying to make, and if you want to add anything prior to starting the melting process. You can use a plastic lid, or a paper cutout to allow the illusion of the wax dripping around an image. Someone can hold it in place, while someone else melts the crayons with the hairdryer. The crayons should be placed at the top or bottom of the page to allow the crayon wax to drip down the

page as it melts. You can use tape to hold the crayons in place. Place them in the order of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. (or you can choose to do random colors if you would like). You can do this activity more than once. Try to take a color out and see how your picture turns out.

Discuss with your family why it is so important to be courteous to others, to make them feel special, included, and valued. Have you ever been excluded from something? How did that make you feel? If you have not, how do you think it would make you feel?

Below are some examples to show how to do this activity. Please be creative and use your imagination as there are no limits.

SEND PROJECT PICTURES TO: amanda@morganpartnership.org 😊 OR Amanda.knepper@k12.wv.us

I hope you have a great weekend!! If you have a fun idea, please let me know so that I can incorporate them into another fun activity for your family!

Courtesy - 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, 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: 
(let's write them in our Positive Action Notebooks and on the board:)
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)
(respect, saying please, excuse me, thank you, holding door, being kind, cell phone usage, introductions, etc...)
Great job being positive together!
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 practice COURTESY 

can change the world!

Watch today's VALUE VIDEO VEDNESDAY, and talk about who is choosing to CREATIVELY COURTEOUS:

Let's talk about it.  Were you surprised?  Why?

Discuss which person showed a Positive Thought?  What did the package man do?

Who shows a Positive Action?
