Second Grade: Day 155

Today is Wednesday; it’s Chapel and library.

Today’s Chapel was lead by KidCo, the kid lead program about anti-bullying. The kid program has been to school 2 times before and ended the year with another great assembly.

The whole school has learned these important lessons…

  • I’m Now! – they are valuable and other’s are valuable too.
    When kids recognize their value, they are less likely to allow bullying.
  • See, Say, Stand! – If you see bullying tell (say) it to an adult and take a stand against it.
  • Spring Into Action – When you see bullying, intervene

These core lessons are at the heart of our school. We teach the children from preschool on up through high school that we are uniquely created in the image of God and worthy of respect. Respect is part of our 3R’s program at school; Respect, Relationship, and Responsibility. The key to any anti-bullying are those 3 key lessons and they need to be taught each and every day.

She returned her library book for a mammal book for her animal report due in June. The mammal she chose from the provided list last week, was the porcupine.

The report is to written by her, with hand drawn pictures that are to colored as well. The report is to have 15+ sentences or so with specific questions answered about the mammal chosen.

Like…

  • what is the habitat of the mammal chosen.
  • what is the baby’s name of the mammal chosen.
  • what does this mammal eat.
  • how does this mammal protect itself from other animals.
  • what makes this mammal uniquely made by God.
  • (I can’t remember the other questions she had listed)

Otherwise, Isabel didn’t have much else to say about her school day. She was excited about the KidCo program and chatted about it all the way home.
