• As we discuss responsibility, encourage your child to take personal responsibility for their own learning at school. We've discussed helping ourselves learn by listening, following directions, and staying on task. We also discussed how this helps our friends learn too. Ask your child ways that they took responsibility for their learning at school!

Virtue Focus: Responsibility in the Community

This week we'll be focused on being responsible community members! We'll discuss how that looks in the world around us and what we can do as good citizens.
