Responsibility
One of the learning skills that our school is focusing on this term is responsibility. This week, we read a book and had a discussion about what it means to be a responsible student at school and why it is important to have rules at school. Students understand that they are being responsible when they are doing what they are "supposed to do." Together, we created an anchor chart. Students helped to generate the criteria that they believe is important to follow in order to demonstrate responsibility. I have been referring to the chart frequently to highlight responsible choices and to remind students to check this chart and use it to assess their own choices and actions. We have also discussed some other criteria not recorded on this chart (e.g., responsibility with bathroom breaks and demonstrating responsibility by applying our best effort to all areas of our learning. I encourage you to continue the discussion with your child.
