In order to learn and have fun together, each scheduled  library lesson will begin with a meeting on the rug. During the meeting, students will learn the goals, skills, concepts and ideas of the lesson and what is expected of them. Our first meeting together will focus on mindset.

Of the many positive character traits addressed in a character education curriculum, courage is foundational to helping students stand up for what is right, become leaders and achieve goals. Creating, acting out, analyzing and reflecting on scenarios that require courage can help students develop skills to resist negative peer pressure, speak out against injustice and make choices based on core values

Learning about the brain and our own thinking help all of us to be motivated, independent, self-directed, life-long learners. Together we will read, Parachute written by Danny Parker and illustrated by Matt Ottley and share situations that require courage. 

courage (kur-ij, kuhr-ij)
(noun) The quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger or pain without fear; bravery.
