Community Wildcats that CARE! June 7, 2019

...where ALL students are UNIQUE and Wonderfully Made!

Time for POSITIVE ACTIONS!

Today is FUN FRIDAY where we see that our community cares about the students at
Widmyer Elementary School

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions for the LAST day of school, June 7, 2019!! Who is excited for Summer Vacation?!  It's almost here, right?  This has been a PAWsome school year, hasn't it!  

Mrs. Sheima has three very important things I want you ALL to remember over the summer!  Here they are!

1) YOU are unique,

2) YOU are important, and

3) YOU are wonderfully made!

I want you all to know that it has been a beautiful school year and Mrs. Hott and Mrs. Sheima have really enjoyed the chance to come and present PAWsitive Actions for you!  You each make our school and community a great place to grow up.  So that you won't forget how special you are, let's say it together!  Ready?.....Here we go:

1) I am unique,

2) I am important, and

3) I am wonderfully made!

If you are wondering what we will be doing over the summer, find us online!  I will miss each of you and thought it may be fun to meet online for a story; so, if you miss us too, you can find us with our PAWsitive Partners every Tuesday at 7:30 here:

Tucked-In Tuesdays

And, remember, it is a Positive Action to follow the Golden Rule because changing the world starts with one student at a time...and that is.....

YOU!

And now, for the first ever broadcast of The Cougar News and our final vlogcast for PAWsitive Actions, join Mrs. Elmore's 3rd graders and fill our halls with song!  Yes!  I want to hear your beautiful voices from each classroom singing "The Golden Rule"

June 6, 2019, Raise the Roof....

...on student assets!  
Where ALL students are UNIQUE and WONDERFULLY MADE!

Today is Raising Student Assets Thursday!

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, June 6, 2019! For today, we have a surprise for you!

As we continue to improve our positive thoughts, actions and feelings, today we will take a look at raising student assets and a super important positive action word(s):

CONFIDENCE

Tell your teacher what you think the word "CONFIDENCE" means. 
"a feeling of self-assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities"

CONFIDENCE.  What does "CONFIDENCE" look like? Today's video takes a look at a whole bunch of students describing "confidence."  

Watch this video:

Now, it's YOUR turn.  What do YOU think CONFIDENCE is?  Tell your teacher something you are confident in doing?  

And remember, it is also important to know that here at Widmyer Elementary School, we are all part of a "wildcat community" where positive actions start with...

YOU!

June 5, 2019, Video Vlog Vednesday

...where ALL students are UNIQUE and Wonderfully Made!

Today is VALUE VIDEO "V"EDNESDAY!  

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, June 5, 2019!  On Wednesdays, we will be examining Value Video Vednesdays when we will take a look at positive values to help us grow into a caring wildcat community of students at Widmyer Elementary School.  

For today, we have a surprise for you!

Mrs. Hott and I created a "WSIS Virtual Tour!" featuring our family of third grade fabulous teachers!  From the pick-up line to the gymnasium, join us for a little walk-about, and discover where your future teacher's classrooms are located, lunch is served, or....even where outside recess is!  Listen to current 3rd graders share "words of wisdom" about all the exciting and fun times they have learning at Warm Springs Intermediate School.  And, if you are feeling a little nervous about the change, just log on to our Positive Action YouTube Channel over the summer and watch again!  (You can message us anytime!)

Here we go......!

Another video takes a look at a student who is positive when they are CONFIDENT.  I imagine we have a few student dancers at school getting ready for their end of year recitals, right?  YOU are going to LOVE this super cute video for sure!

Confidence means:  "a feeling of self-assurance arising from one's appreciation and trust of one's own abilities or qualities" 

Each of YOU have done amazing things this year at school!  The knowledge and skills your teachers have given you will help you be successful not just in school (or academics) but also in your communities (socially and with friends). 

Maybe you are finishing school work for your teacher,...have CONFIDENCE that you will do you best.  Maybe you are participating in spring sports,...have CONFIDENCE in your skills.  Or, maybe you are dancing in an upcoming recital,...have CONFIDENCE that all your hard work and training will result in a great performance!....

Watch today's VALUE VIDEO VEDNESDAY, and talk about who illustrates Confidence :

Let's talk about it.  Were you surprised?  Why?

Discuss who showed a Positive Thought?

Who shows a Positive Action?

What is the Positive Feeling you have when you see this video?

Now, think of a person who you know that shows CONFIDENCE. What did he/she do? 

Today, Mrs. Sheima wants you to do a Positive Action too!  Try it!

MOTO Moday, June 3, 2019

...where ALL students are UNIQUE and Wonderfully Made!

Welcome to "PAW"sitive Actions Daily Community Character Vlogcasts!  Today is Monday, June 3, 2019!!! Just look at the sun rising this week on another beautiful new day of learning!

Mrs. Sheima is SUPER excited to share Positive Actions with Morgan County students because today, and each Monday, is when we "motor-up" YOUR school week and get ready for more PAWsome days of learning and growing... 

"MOTO Monday!"   

or, "Motovation Monday" where we will see a vlog to get our week "motored-up" with positive thoughts, actions, and feelings.

Our PAWsitive Action "word of the week"is:  COMMUNITY

For Positive Actions, we are learning about wonderful words that build our Social and Emotional Wellness to help us all get along (at home, school, and in the community), raise our student assets, build confidence, and improve our academics! 

This week, we will see our school family practice PAWsitive behavior that shows CARING AND COMMUNITY!

Watch today's "MOTO Monday" vlogcast. 

Do YOU know that "the way we think about ourselves controls how happy, healthy, and successful we will be"?  In Positive Actions this year, we are discovering that we each have beautiful, unique characteristics that are all important and valuable to our Wildcat Community, here, at school, and at home.

(If time permits, sing-a-long!):  

Begin every day with Positive Actions:

Get Ready for a POSITIVE school week!

Community Wildcats that CARE! May 31, 2019

Today is FUN FRIDAY where we see that our community cares about the students at
Widmyer Elementary School

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, May 31, 2019!!  Special for today's Fun Friday, we celebrate our Wildcats about to graduate from the 2nd grade!  

Congratulations Graduates! 

Stay tuned!....We have a fun, special treat for our school family!  Mrs. Hott and Mrs. Sheima want all our PAWsome students to do their best to make the world a better place by doing Positive Actions this summer!  So, coming on our PAWsitive Action Community Vlogcast next week, watch here for our "Golden Rule" remix with some very sweet singers over in Ms. Elmore's third grade!  

  

Now, for today!...
Join us for a virtual tour around Morgan County for a look at a short film about our most valuable assets:  YOU!  Mrs. Hott and Mrs. Sheima wanted you to know that it will also be a special feature sometime over the summer for a movie preview at the local Star Theater.  So, you may have an opportunity to experience it with your families too! We are so proud of our schools!  Watch "MoCo Rocks!" and look for some friendly faces from our community!

That was PAWsome!  

Some days are hard; but with Positive Thoughts, Actions, and Feelings, YOU can make choices to help you and others have a Positive future!

Here are a few questions for you:  
1)  Think about someone in your family.  Tell your teacher one Positive Action that person did recently.
2)  Now, think about someone here in our school community.  What is one Positive Action you saw that you liked?  Next, be sure to tell that person "thanks!" for being Positive!
3)  And, think about someone from your neighborhood or community.  What Positive Action did you see that person do?  
(Share answers with each other.)

Remember, it is a Positive Action to follow the Golden Rule because changing the world starts with one student at a time...and that is.....

YOU!

KINDNESS - May 30, 2019...Raise the Roof...

...on student assets!  
Where ALL students are UNIQUE and WONDERFULLY MADE!

Today is Raising Student Assets Thursday!

I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, May 30, 2019! As we continue to improve our positive thoughts, actions and feelings, today we will take a look at raising student assets and a super important positive action word(s):

KINDNESS

Mrs. Hott and Ms. Sheima want you all to BE KIND over the summer!  So, we are sharing again a special vlog with a KINDNESS activity.

Tell your teacher what you think the word "KINDNESS" means. 
"a quality of being friendly, generous, considerate"

KINDNESS.  What does "KINDNESS" look like? Have you seen any kindness yet today?   Let's make KINDNESS happen!  Watch this video:

Now, it's YOUR turn.  Here is your "kindness" positive action for today:
First, take a sheet of paper from your Positive Action folder.
Next, trace your hand.
Write the words "KINDNESS MATTERS" in your hand picture.
Decorate, color, make YOUR Kind hand unique...just like YOU!
Finally, your Positive Action today is to give a "kind hand" to someone who needs it!  Think of 
someone YOU can make smile today by sharing KINDNESS.
Give them YOUR kindness matters hand!

And remember, it is also important to know that here at Widmyer Elementary School, we are all part of a "wildcat community" where positive actions start with...

YOU!
