Word Of The Week

Our Word Of the Week is DISCUSS.

DISCUSS means to talk or write about (a topic) in detail, taking into account different ideas and opinions.

The Positivity Project Family Newsletter

Dear Families,

This week, our school will focus on the character strength of Creativity. Creativity means coming up with new and original ways to think about and do things.

Creative people see the world differently. They are open to new experiences and think independently. They come up with many ideas and pursue them with energy and enthusiasm. Creativity takes courage because sharing original ideas can sometimes lead to criticism.

Creativity is vital to our world! Creative solutions can help resolve conflicts and find compromises that satisfy everyone involved, strengthening relationships. It helps us solve tough problems, create new things, and see the world in fresh ways. Examples include treatments for deadly illnesses, such as cancer, the invention of the cell phone, and the development of solar panels. Imagine life without Impressionist paintings or the creation of airplanes and rocket ships.

To encourage creativity with your child at home, visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families (available in English and Spanish), where you will watch a video together and discuss a quote and three questions. Below are links to this week’s P2 for Families lessons. Click on the grade level that best meets your child’s needs.

Thank you for your support!

REMINDER: Fourth graders are starting to use kazoos in music class this week as they prepare for STEAM Night in December. If students do not have a kazoo by music class this week, they will not be able to practice kazoos with the rest of their classmates. You can purchase a kazoo through music and arts with free pickup in store or on Amazon. Once purchased, please send the kazoo to school with your student for easy storage until December.
