This month students will be learning about CARING! Students will be encouraged to show us they care by demonstrating many of the already taught character traits. Teachers will be on the look out for students that have shown that they truly understand what caring is and reward them with a positive behavior referral. We will also be selecting a few students from each grade level to participate in the monthly Character Cafe.

Students that care for others will help when needed, show respect for others, listen to what others have to say, and be kind.

4th Grade Students participate in Character Building lessons during class.

Here are some helpful websites that you can use at home with your child to help reinforce the trait of caring at home.
