Over the last several weeks, we have been focusing on the third component of our Eagle Pledge: Good Citizenship. This is such a fun topic to teach because there is SO much that encompasses displaying good citizenship.
Recently, we discussed the topic, "Respect," and how that fits closely with displaying good citizenship. We dissected what respect looks like, sounds like, and feels like at school, at home, and in our community. We read the book, "What if Everybody Did That," and had good conversation about the impact of one person's actions and how those can turn into a snowball effect.
Our younger grades began a unit on Feelings & Emotions. We are using an "Inside Out" theme to practice identifying feelings, recognizing facial expressions, and we will wrap up with how to manage some of our big feelings! This has been particularly fun because the movies, "Inside Out" and "Inside Out 2" make it so easy for kids to relate to!
As always, please encourage your children to talk with you about what they are learning in guidance! If you are ever interested in extension activities or other books related to our lesson topics, please don't hesitate to ask! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out!
