Being responsible means being dependable, keeping promises, and honoring your commitments. When one is responsible, one shows independence and diligence when carrying out tasks and making decisions.
Our Character Essentials theme for May was “We are responsible.” Children in our classrooms learn all about how responsibility shows independence and conscientiousness.

We Are Responsible
No two people on the Earth are exactly alike. Everybody has something that makes them who they are. Recognizing that, accepting that and celebrating that is the basis of February’s Character Essentials theme – We Are Unique.

In January, the theme of our Character Essentials curriculum was We Get Along. We focused on ways students can work toward getting along with others in a group.
We shared our tips for teaching young kids about acceptance and getting along with others on our blog.

There are a lot of exciting things happening in 2020 - a Leap Day, a Summer Olympics and a U.S. presidential election!
These events present great opportunities to talk to your kids about a wide variety of subjects, including time, our Solar System, sports, exercise, geography, voting, history, government and more.

THIS ONE IS TRUE *MAGIC*!
Watching little faces light up as they discover secret letters is simply the best! I love this one for its magical simplicity, ease of setup and ability to cross multiple ages. Not to mention motor skills, literacy, and FUN! Toddlers can find letters, emerging readers can find words, and older readers can find a letter. It's activity perfection!

SUCH A FUN TWIST ON A FAVORITE! 🧩
Oh, my love of "hide and seek" activities runs deep 💛. They're easy to setup, use supplies you already own, and give our kids a chance to explore, learn and develop with their hands. Plus they're FUN! This puzzle variation is one of our favorites! 🧩
