Virtue of the Week
Our virtue for the week is honesty. Being honest is being open,
trustworthy and truthful. When people are honest, they can be
relied on not to lie, cheat, or steal. Honesty is telling the truth. It
is admitting mistakes even when you know someone might be
angry or disappointed. Being honest means that you don’t pretend to be something you are not. With honesty, you can trust
things to be as they appear.
Our virtue for next week is service. Service is giving to others
and wanting to make a difference in their lives. It is looking for
ways to be helpful instead of waiting to be asked. The needs of
others are as important to you as your own. When you work with
the spirit of service, you give any job your best effort. People
who want to be of service can change the world.
Tip of the Week
Standardized tests currently
play a major role in the United States public schools. As a
parent, there are a number of
ways that you can support
your child before and after
taking a standardized test, as
well as a number of ways you
can support your child's
learning habits on a daily basis.

Get a good night’s sleep

Eat a healthy breakfast

Be on time
Going with the Flow
This week in science we will be exploring hydropower. Students will
learn about and experiment with harnessing energy from flowing water. Be sure to ask your children about their waterwheels!
