A message to our CCSD families for the upcoming week: This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Perspective. Perspective means you appreciate when people see things in different ways. You have the ability to understand the world from multiple points of view. Perspective is also referred to as wisdom and is distinct from intelligence. People with this strength are sought out for advice because they see the big picture and can make sense of the world’s complexity. This strength of perspective gives individuals the ability to see to the heart of difficult matters and achieve clarity. Most importantly, they are honest and behave in an ethically consistent manner. Perspective helps an individual make sense of the world. It provides clarity on what matters and what does not. Being able to see things from multiple angles helps individuals remain calm and learn from mistakes; they are typically highly self-aware. Reflecting on their own feelings, thoughts, and motives helps them understand and empathize with other people. These individuals are strong listeners and ask great questions. Individuals with the strength of perspective help their group get through difficult or uncertain circumstances because they’re poised and can identify opportunities for success. To practice and encourage the character strength of perspective with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families where together you can watch a video, read a quote, and talk about the answers to three questions. Please consider asking your students about the daily lessons and discussions in their classrooms! Have a wonderful week!

A big shout out to Mrs. Fuller's 4th grade students for their work on the Mountains Research Project! They chose a mountain range from somewhere around the globe and then divided tasks, working as a team on their learning goal. The students had to explain the location, type of mountain range, how it was formed, activities that could be done there as well as dangers, what living things could be found, explain the weather and climate and finally include an interesting fact. As the images show, the unit activity blended collaboration, technology, creativity and engaging independent learning tasks. They are beaming with pride showing off their final products! Great job, 4th graders! Thank you to Mrs. Fuller for facilitating a great unit of study!!
