My Project

Our school is focusing on five values that are important to parents, students and teachers in our community. One of the values is growth. We are hard at work learning from mistakes, persevering, and being brave by trying new and challenging things.

Students are able to put their name on a blue piece of paper that gets added to our school chain when they are recognized by an adult or peer for demonstrating the value of growth.

Students love it when they're able to use scrapbook paper, especially glittery ones, to have as part of the values strips in our school chain. I want to be able to honor their excitement and engagement over having glittery and fun paper as a part of our chain.
