Congratulations to Mercedes for showing Compassion this past month!!!

Green with Integrity! Integrity is the quality of being honest, having strong moral principles and total sincerity. Honesty is often viewed as saying the right thing and integrity is doing the right thing. Oprah Winfrey states, “Real integrity is doing the right thin knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.” Watch Integrity video and What would you do? Read and listen to our book of the month, Mr. Peabody’s Apples.

In the story, Tommy realizes the damage he has caused to Mr. Peabody. He says, “I have a lot of work to do.” Pretend you are Tommy and write an apology to Mr. Peabody which explains how Tommy plans to amend what he has done.

Today we had a special guest! Sophia’s father Mr. Terleph studies Gibbons in the rainforests of Thailand. He taught us about the ‘great call’ and the difference between an ape and a monkey. We also enjoyed learning about many other species of animals that he has come across and loved seeing all the pictures! Thank you so much, we appreciate it!!!

We will be discussing this text on Monday. Be prepared to be an active participant.

Can you write a word problem to go along with each situation in our video? Remember, we have learned how to add, subtract, mulitply and divide so the problem could use any of these operations! Write your problem in the comments section below!

Congratulations to Rosa for showing Perseverance this past month! Keep up the good work!!!

This month at Cottage Lane we are focusing on compassion. “If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” ~ Dalai Lama At today’s assembly, we discussed the meaning of compassion and how we can show compassion in school, at home and in the world. Our Compassion Cards will encourage us to perform random acts of compassion. From the Buddy Bench to Jump Rope for Heart, our compassion can make a difference in the lives of others.

Our book of the month, Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson, gives a lesson about how even small acts of kindness can change the world. The main character realizes the lost opportunity for friendship and thinks about how much better it could have been if a little compassion was shown toward others.
