February Character Trait- Cooperation

I can’t believe January is almost over! As we move into February, we will be learning about a new character trait. During February we will be learning about Cooperation! Cooperation is about making sure we know how to be on a team or work in a group towards a common goal. Here is the definition we are using:

Cooperation: Working together and helping others.

We want young people to know how to work hard on their own. But, just as important, we want them to know what it looks like to be a part of a really supportive, helpful, empowering team. We will be thinking about the skills needed to work together well and how each of us contributes to a group in big and small ways. We will think about our strengths and our areas of growth. We will take part in fun challenges to put our teamwork to the test and grow, together, toward the common goal of a more helpful, kind, cooperative world!

Here are some conversation starters you can use with your child at home to support our focus of cooperation:

  • Sometimes you just feel like doing things all by yourself. What is something that someone can do to help you to get into the spirit of Cooperation?

  • When we are working with others, it can be tough when a teammate is not cooperating. How do you deal with that frustration? What can you say to the teammate to tell them how you feel?

  • Talk about a time when you worked on a really effective team. What were the ingredients? What did you contribute? How did they help you?

PTO Fundraiser- World's Finest Chocolate

Our PTO will be starting our spring fundraiser on Tuesday, 2/1. They will be selling World's Finest Chocolate bars. They have the $1 bar variety boxes or the $2 bar and carton variety boxes available. Each box contains $60 worth of product. This fundraiser will run through 2/16. Be on the lookout for the parent letter and chocolate checkout form coming home this week. Money raised with this fundraiser will be used for our end of the year celebrations and for educational enrichment programs next year, such as Reflex and Generation Genius.

If you have any questions, please email the PTO at libertyridgepto@gmail.com

Classroom Treats

Please help us celebrate your child by providing ONLY store bought, individually wrapped treats for birthdays. If items arrive that are not wrapped, we will not accept them. When we do this, we can ensure proper food handling safety protocols as well as help our students with any life threatening allergies or conditions. Creative, easy ideas for this: rice krispie treats, ding dongs, twinkies, etc.

Waterbottles

Please send your student with a water bottle with their name clearly labeled.

Lost and Found

Please claim items from lost and found. We will be donating unclaimed items to charity at the end of the month. We check for names, so labeling your child's clothing helps us get them back to the right people.
