April: Responsibility/Test Taking Strategies

This month K-2 talked about responsibility. We read the book Officer Buckle and Gloria by Peggy Rathmann. The students had fun acting out ways to show responsibility in the classroom as well as showing ways of being irresponsible. We discussed how to be responsible at home and around school.

The 3rd-4th graders talked about positive ways to handle anxiety, particularly related to test taking. We worked on deep breathing and maintaining a positive mindset while staying focused. We stressed the importance of getting enough rest and a protein-rich breakfast.
Fifth graders were taught Responsible Social Behavior.
