Dear Parents,
We will begin our new theme of Character Education, Responsibility when we return from our Mid Winter Recess. Here are some things you can do to reinforce the message of Responsibility.
• Have a discussion about responsibility in the family. What are your child's responsibilities (other than chores), and what are your responsibilities? Perhaps make a chart. What happens if you or your child are irresponsible? How does taking responsibility make your home a happier place to be?
• Catch your child being responsible. Make sure your child knows he or she has just done something good. Expressing your approval is a powerful way to reinforce good behavior.
• Remember, your child is watching what you do. Be sure to model the kind of responsible behavior you want your child to adopt.
Thank you,
Mrs. Santoro

Enrichment Clusters Feasts
Dear Parents/Guardians,
It seems like just yesterday we were boarding our flights with our passports in our hands for an exciting journey to destinations around the world! As our trip comes to an end, we would like to invite our families and friends to join us for a celebration. Each enrichment cluster will host an International Feast next week. We would like each cluster and their families to prepare a few dishes that represent the destination they “traveled” to. Students, teachers, and parents will have an opportunity to sample the extraordinary ethnic dishes together. Please see the schedule for the feasts and the room locations below. We would like to make this a rich cultural experience for our students and families. During the feast, students will share what they have learned about their destination. We look forward to learning more about the wonderful culture and foods from each destination. Thank you for all of your support and participation.

New Character Theme: Citizenship
We have just began our last theme of character, Citizenship which encourages children to do their share to make the community a better place, and shows them that even kids their age have the power to make a difference. Here are some things you can do to reinforce the message.
• Have a family discussion about what things you can do together to take more responsibility for Make a plan and do it.
• Participate in a community service project with your children.
• Watch a television program together, and talk about ways in which the characters were either good citizens or bad citizens.
• When you do things that demonstrate good citizenship, be sure to point it out to your child. Your child will learn a lot from watching what you do.
Educationally Yours,
Danielle Santoro
