Respect

 

Focus: Respecting ourselves, others, and our environment

The theme for the month of March is Respect.  As you can see in the poster above it describes RESPECT in three areas::

1. Respect for YOURSELF

   1. I do my Best

   2. I move Safely

   3. I stay in my Bubble

2. Respect for OTHERS

   1. I Listen

   2. I speak Kindly

   3. I problem solve

3. Respect for the Environment (school, home, neighborhood)

   1. I put things AWAY 

   2. I treat things with Care

   3. I use an inside Voice (when I am inside)

 

As you may notice the term RESPECT covers many areas of our school life. Here is a list of some children’s books discussing how showing respect to ourselves, others and our environment makes a positive difference in our school and community.  Feel free to pick up some of these titles at your local library!
