CKH-APRIL CHARACTER WORD--PERSEVERANCE
What is Perseverance?
Perseverance is the willingness and ability to keep going when things are tough. People who persevere show steadfastness and give the extra effort needed to do something despite how hard it is or how long it takes to reach the goal.
Why focus on Perseverance?
- Perseverance encourages positive self-talk and thinking. When faced with difficult tasks, perseverance helps students reframe with positive thoughts, such as: "I'm not good at this YET!"
- Perseverance develops empathy. Students gain a better understanding of who they are and develop more empathy and compassion for others who may struggle to reach a goal.
- Perseverance sparks personal growth. Pushing through complex tasks builds resilience and helps students discover how capable they are.

FITNESS CORNER
FITNESS CODING
When does ABC mean hop, crawl, and skip? When kids combine coding with fitness in this game! Here's how:
- Have your child write the alphabet down the left side of a sheet of paper and fill in a movement beside each letter. For example, A=hop on one foot for 10 seconds, B-crawl like a crab, and C=skip to the tree and back.
- Now take turns secretly choosing a word and doing the movements for each letter. Other players consult the list and write the "code" by figuring out which letter matches each movement. So if the code is s-n-o-w, the secret word is snow. The first person to say the word picks the next one.
PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE COLOR RUN ON MAY 18TH
If you need another form please let your child's teacher or the office know.
