February Newsletter

Counseling Topics:

This month, our whole group guidance lesson is on Cultural Diversity.  I am reading the book The Colors of Us, and we are discussing individual differences. 

In the book, we find out that we are all a shade of brown, and we all have the same feelings on the inside.  Therefore, we must treat everyone the same and abide by the “Golden Rule”— Treat others the way you would want to be treated.

Talk to your child about  how they might treat others with respect.

 

Character Word Focus:  Fairness and Honesty

Fairness– treat others with equanimity and impartiality

Honesty– truthful, sincere, and straightforward

Please discuss with your child about being fair and honest.

 Upcoming Event:  A, B, C's for Parents (Academics, Benchmarks, and Curriculum)
