Talking with the Fourth Graders

I met with the Fourth graders this past Friday. They shared how happy they were to be back in school, and I let them know how happy we are to see them!
The Value for this month is: Loyalty. 
We had a class discussion re: what Loyalty meant to them and how they portray this Value. 
They defined it as a class, and I added their definition to our BMS Values Board( when you enter the LS our Board is right there in the Lobby). 
As a group we discussed how to support and care for our classmates. Each class was given a pail, which they named: A Cheer Pail. The girls are working on writing a Support Statement for their classmates. Some of their ideas were: Believe in Yourself, You Can Do It, You're A Good Friend...
They will decorate their notes, and place them in the Cheer Pail. When they feel they need a note of support and care, they can choose to pick out a "Cheer Note." Many of th girls said these notes put a smile on their face. 
We plan to continue to talk about caring for ourselves and others next week, and throughout the year.
