The CKH Leadworthy Character Word for October is SELF-DIRECT.
What does it mean to SELF-DIRECT?
"Self-Direction is the ability and learned skill to cast a vision of future goals and then take intentional steps toward who, where, and what we want to be. Instead of focusing on things to control or avoid, we emphasize our responsibility to make positive choices related to our emotions, attitudes, and actions."
Our students who consistently self-direct throughout October, with no redirection from adults, are likely to be chosen as the Leadworthy Spotlight Winner for their class. Winners get to have a special lunch with the principals!
Please encourage your child to lead with great character each day!
Here are a few REMINDERS...
- Costumes MUST be a book character.
- No scary book character costumes.
- Students will “be” their book character all day, so carefully choose something “wearable” all day.
- Costumes should be homemade. If possible, use items from around the house. You do not have to buy or make an elaborate costume.
- Students MUST have a book to carry during the parade that includes their character.
- Check out a book from our HCE Library, classroom libraries, or Saline County Library prior to the parade. Please don’t wait until the day before to check out your book.
- You may also bring a book from home.
