Advocacy Week of 9/3/24
September 3 - 6
Welcome September!
This month the focus is on, Self-Awareness, a key part of our advocacy efforts. Through various activities and lessons, your child will develop essential skills like recognizing their emotions, understanding their strengths and challenges, and learning how their actions impact themselves and others. These skills are crucial for their personal growth and success, both in and out of the classroom. We encourage you to engage in conversations at home about what they’re learning to reinforce these important concepts.
The following topics will be covered throughout the month of September during advocacy classes--
-
Emotional Awareness: Recognizing and understanding their own emotions, which helps in managing reactions and building empathy for others.
-
Self-Reflection: Developing the habit of thinking about their actions, decisions, and behaviors, and how these affect themselves and others.
-
Strengths and Weaknesses Identification: Recognizing their strengths to build confidence and understanding areas for growth to set realistic goals.
-
Goal Setting: Learning to set personal and academic goals based on their self-assessment and developing a plan to achieve them.
-
Self-Regulation: Developing the ability to manage impulses, stay focused, and persevere through challenges.
-
Personal Values Identification: Understanding what they value and how it influences their behavior and choices.
Students will be working on an "Original Works" piece. The students will create a piece of art that will then be turned into mugs, keychains, and several more items that you can order to remember your child's year. Look for upcoming information in October for your ordering form.
On Wednesday during our Service-Learning Day, we've started having the students process what group they are in for the Halloween Carnival preparation and begin working on the craft or game that they will create to share with the K-4 students during our Halloween Carnival.
