Atmosphere Task List 1

Atmosphere Task List 2

Black Friday… Cyber Monday…Sales! Sales! Sales! Everyone is out looking for great deals on holiday presents.  Don’t fall into this shopping craze. Use some imagination and creativity with Mrs. McBride’s monthly challenge, The Holiday Challenge.  All entries are due Tuesday, December 17th.

We all really enjoyed gathering together to celebrate with the students upon the completion of their memoirs. Throughout this unit, the students dug deep into stories from their own lives for meaning. They thought about struggles they battle again and again, reflected upon special connections and took a step closer to understanding and accepting themselves for the unique individuals they are. Here are a few pictures of parents celebrating with the students.

Our class had the opportunity to lead the November Gratitude Assembly during two periods on Friday, November 1st. We each had an opportunity to address the audience and practice our public speaking skills. Katelyn even played the piano to welcome the classes into the assemblies and to send them on their way.

I was impressed with the presence each child demonstrated while speaking in public. Each and every student spoke clearly, loudly and at a reasonable pace. The class is quite a group!

“Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits,

but you accept everybody just because they’re alive and human.” ~ Albert Ellis

• Acceptance is the willingness to embrace feelings, habits, or beliefs that are different from your own.
• Acceptance is the ability to experience or survive something unpleasant.
• Acceptance is the willingness to tolerate a difficult or unpleasant situation.
• We all have the human need and right to be accepted.
