Attention Ecology Club Members:  Help save the planet Thursday!  Our meeting will be after school on Thursday until 4:30 in Mrs. LaCrosse's room.  Please make sure you make arrangements for someone to pick you up.

 

Students today the third grade will be taking the Fall Ohio Achievement Assessment in Reading. Let’s show them our respect by making sure we are quiet during class changes.  

 

This week our word is optimism. Harry Truman once said, “A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.”  So let’s stay positive and look for our opportunities during our most difficult times. Let’s keep the challenge alive.

 

Woodlands students respect the opinion of others whether they agree with the other person or not. During a discussion, you should respect the other students’ comments, opinions, and ideas. Listen to their thoughts attentively and do not interrupt until they have finished their entire thought. Then when possible you can make statements like, “I agree with you, and I also feel that…” or “You made a valid point but I disagree with you because...” or “I feel you made an excellent observation and it made me realize…” At no time do Woodland Students put down or make fun of another student for their opinion, thought or idea that they share.
