CKH WORD OF THE MONTH ~ SELF-DIRECT
What does it mean to Self-Direct?
Self-Direction is the ability and learned skill to cast a vision of future goals and then take intentional steps toward who, where, and what we want to be. Instead of focusing on things to control or avoid, we emphasize our responsibility to make positive choices related to our emotions, attitudes, and actions.
Why focus on self-direction?
Self-direction helps us to regulate emotions. Self-direction empowers students to regulate their impulses and emotional responses to situations and circumstances in their life.
Self-direction in action:
Reflect and evaluate. Facilitate discussions and reflection to prompt students to examine what they do, think, and say against their goals and vision for their life and learning.
REWARD DAY
Our First 9 Weeks Reward Day is coming up this Thursday! Our students at SMS have been working hard this year to be successful and we want to celebrate them. All students who are eligible will be able to participate in several different activities at the end of the day on Thursday. We have three more Reward Days scheduled this year to allow more opportunities for students to participate. We can't wait to celebrate!
