I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, March 13th! 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.
Today's video takes a look at a students who are positive when they show KINDNESS. When we recognize and encourage KINDNESS in our world, we are making positive choices to become students with good moral and ethical qualities, helping us to achieve personal excellence.
Watch today's VALUE VIDEO VEDNESDAY, and talk about who illustrates KINDNESS :
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 KINDNESS. What did he/she do?
Today, Mrs. Sheima wants you to do a Positive Action too! Try it. WES students that are KIND can change the world!
...where ALL students are UNIQUE and Wonderfully Made!
Time for POSITIVE ACTIONS!
Today is TEACHER TALKIN TUESDAY where we see that our school family of teachers, staff, volunteers and administrators careabout the students at Widmyer Elementary School! And, where we will take a Positive moment each week to "Talk It Out" and discuss important student issues.
I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, March 12th!! For each "Teacher Talkin' Tuesday" in Positive Actions, we will meet a new member of our school family community that cares about YOU!
As we listen to our school family share their dreams, how hard they worked/studied, when they were little, stories of their life, and how Positive Actions helped them, we learn a little more about each other. Discovering about each other's life helps us to understand why and how we become who we are.
Here is today's video vlog from Mrs. Hott and Mrs. Sheima where we will get to meet Mrs Lisa Unger teacher from our Widmyer Elementary School family:
YOUR student assets are what will help you succeed here at school and as you grow up. When we learn more about our teachers and staff, it helps to create a caring school climate, which is an essential external developmental asset.
So, guess what that means?! Your teachers also want to learn more about YOU too! For Positive Actions each Tuesday, you will have the opportunity to share something new about yourself with your teacher and classmates. It is "Talk It Out Time!" Each week, we will share one brand spanking new thing about ourselves.
Here is what Mrs. Sheima wants you to do each week. I will give you a completely different topic, and you will share with your teacher and friends something brand new or unknown about yourself! Just watch the discoveries...we may find that someone in our class we don't know very well may have something in common with us! Or, we may be completely and crazily different. And, guess what?!...That is OK! It is a Positive Action to learn about our community's likes and respect each other's differences.
So, for today's "Talk It Out," are you ready? Here is our discovery question:
"What is your favorite FLOWER?"
Wait, that's not so hard, right? After you tell us what your favorite flower is, also share WHY you like that flower.
I'll go first. Hi! My name is Mrs. Sheima. My favorite flower is a "siempreviva"! I I love "siemprevivas" because they remind me of my city Almeria in Spain. Every month I bought a bouquet of these flowers because they are beautiful and last a long time.
Look at this:
I usually make bookmark with them or when they dry to use them as decoration. I love them!
Pretty awesome, right? Now, it's YOUR turn! When you are ready to share, raise your hand then tell us YOUR favorite flower and why! 1, 2, 3,... Let's discover...
That was awesome too! You ALL just did a positive action by sharing something about yourself. It is positive because it helps us to better understand each other.
To close, we will finish Talkin Tuesdays with a chance for you to share something important with your teacher. Is there something you feel like "if my teacher only knew...." it would help her/him understand you better? What is new this week you can tell your teacher? For example, if my teacher knew how hard I tried or I really did do my best on our spelling words, you may feel more positive! Or, if my teacher only knew why I was late again, maybe she/he can help me, etc.
In your Positive Action folder, you will find a Talk It Out Tuesday page. Here, write one thing down you wish your teacher knew about your week. Sometimes it helps to get our thoughts together when we write it down. And, if you need to talk later, just ask your teacher, parent, friend, Ms. Maguire, or Mrs. Sheima by saying "May I please share a "talk it out" with you?"
Remember, sometimes our negative thoughts can turn positive just by telling or sharing with another person! It is a Positive Action to "peacefully resolve our conflicts" too with others at home, school, and our community. "Talking it out" starts with one student at a time...and that is.....

My worse grade ever was when I was in high school, I got a "D" in MATH. I felt so sad and bad because for me was so hard math but I keep trying to understand and study everyday more. And you know what happen in the next test! I got a "B" so I was so happy.

Today is Raising Student Assets Thursday!
I am so excited to be back for Positive Actions today, March 7th! 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:
HOW TO DISAGREE
Tell your teacher what you think the word "DISAGREE" means. "to have or or express a different opinion"
DISAGREE. What does "DISAGREEMENT" look like? Sometimes it can.not.be.pretty...right?! But, when we take a look at what Kid President has to say, maybe....just maybe we can learn "how to disagree" using Positive Actions... Teachers, please pause and discuss important steps on HOW TO DISAGREE. Watch this video:
Stop. Breathe. LOVE. That was my favorite thing Kid President said about "How to Disagree." What was yours? Let's review so we can follow and share Kid President's steps! If needed, rewind, rethink, and re-talk! 1) It's our Golden Rule: Treat people like they're people! 2) LISTEN 3) Pause, Breathe, LOVE 4) Are you stuck? Distract. What does this mean? 5) Acceptance (discuss video, engage students in what Kid President suggests)
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...
