Family Art Week 3! Tuesday's FUN

“FAMILY ART-THERAPY WEEK 3”

The materials needed to create these activities most households will have but if you do not and would like to participate, please reach out to Ms. Mandi will ensure that you have what you need in time for the activities. I have included pictures of examples to give a clear idea of each project so you have a better understanding in case my directions aren’t very clear, but please feel free to be as creative as you’d like, as this is your family’s artwork.  

Tuesday-Draw in sand or dirt. Like a Zen garden, this activity will have you drawing shapes and scenes in the sand, which can be immensely relaxing and a great way to clear your mind. You can draw a picture, pattern or express your emotions. (PLEASE SEND YOUR CREATIONS TO ME amanda@morganpartnership.org WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS PROJECT) 😊

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!
