🌟 Classroom Counseling Lesson: Be an Upstander! 🌟

Mrs. Byrum, our School Counselor, led a wonderful lesson on being an upstander! Students learned and practiced how to stand up for others when they witness unkind behavior while building empathy, positive relationships, and a sense of belonging within our school community. 💙

This month’s lesson featured Mrs. Weaver’s Third Grade homeroom and we were also lucky to have three wonderful 5th Grade students (Mia An, Kyzere P, and Arbey M) join us as student leaders and role models! Thank you for sharing your time, enthusiasm, and kindness to help make this lesson a special experience for our younger learners!

🏥📚 Character Trait Surgery in 5th Grade! 🩺✂️

5th grade performed a "character trait surgery" to celebrate the end of Unit 2 entitled Developing Characters' Relationships.

🩺 Day 1 – Pre-Op: The first day was "pre-op" and students worked in teams to re-read sections of the unit to write what the character was thinking, feeling, saying and doing. They also "prepped" their character for surgery by drawing him.

🏥 Day 2 – Surgery Day: The second day was surgery day! Students entered the "operating room", dressed for the part and began to construct their character's head, heart, mouth, arms and legs with evidence of traits from the text.
