This time of year offers a wonderful opportunity to celebrate themes that bring us together—kindness, togetherness, and holiday cheer. As we plan our books to be shared, let’s focus on stories and messages

that capture the spirit of the season in ways that everyone can enjoy and relate to, regardless of individual beliefs. By choosing inclusive themes, we can create a warm, welcoming environment for all.

DECEMBER WORD OF THE MONTH - RESPONSIBILITY

What is Responsibility?
Responsibility is the willingness and ability to take ownership of our thoughts, words, and actions. We have a responsibility to our school, family, and community to be accountable for our choices and how they impact ourselves and others.

Why focus on Responsibility?
- Responsibility teaches resilience. It is not possible to persevere and achieve our dreams without taking personal responsibility seriously.
- Responsibility empowers us to own our actions. There is great power in being able to make conscious, calculated choices to reach goals and manage those things in our control.
- Responsibility teaches us to manage our time and resources. Responsibly organizing and prioritizing needs is an executive function of the brain that improves with practice.
Responsibility in Action:
- Give students roles and responsibilities. When students have a leadership role in class, they are accountable for contributing positively to the classroom culture.
- Empower students with self-management tools. Provide students with tools to help manage stress and impulsivity while motivating them to meet goals.
- Clearly communicate consequences. Empower students to make choices and experience the consequences of their actions, both positive and negative.
