Word of the Month – TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
“Taking responsibility means admitting you do something wrong and trying to make amends.
May 28 Morning Announcement – HANDLING NAME CALLING
“It is not okay for people to call you names that hurt your feelings. If someone calls you a name, you can ignore the person or respond assertively. If the person doesn’t stop, you should tell a grown up.”
CONGRATULATIONS to our wonderful 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Hannah Cotten! She was awarded the 2018 ROOKIE WINNER of Texas Medical Association’s Ernest and Sarah Butler Awards for Excellence in Science Teaching. We all know how amazing Mrs. Cotten is and we are excited others are noticing too!
