Talking With the Fourth Graders

I met with the Fourth Graders this past Friday. They shared how happy they were to return to school, and I let them know, how happy we were to see them! 
The Value for this Month is: Loyalty
We had a lively class discussion re: what Loyalty means to them and how they portray this Value.
They defined it as a class and I wrote it on our LS Values board( when you enter the LS, the Board is on the wall in the Lobby). As a class we discussed how to support and care for our classmates. 
Each class was given a pail, which they named, the Cheer Pail. Each student is writing a statement 
to support all of their classmates. Some of their ideas were: Believe in Yourself, You Can Do It,
You're A Good Friend... They are decorating these notes, and will place them in the pail. When anyone would like a "Cheer Note," they can choose one. Many of the girls said that these notes put a smile on their face. We plan to continue to talk about caring for ourselves and others throughout the year.
