Celebrating friendship


Valentine’s Day is a month away and we will be using this day to celebrate friendship. Rather than bringing in valentines, each student will receive a compliment book filled with kind words from classmates. These “inside compliments” should be thoughtful and specific (more than “you are nice.”)

Here are some examples:
“I like the way you participate in class.”
“You always try your best in P.E.”
“I like that you have a positive attitude toward school.”
“It’s great that you make sure others feel included.”
“You make people laugh, but you also know when it’s  time to be serious.”

Please work with your child to brainstorm compliments for classmates. The rough draft for the compliments is due Tues. Jan. 27th. All words should be spelled correctly. These can be worked on during morning work and at home. Keep the copy that was sent home today at home.

Thank you for your help and support! Please let me know if you have any questions.
-Ms. Conceison
