Smile! :)

This week is Character Counts Week at IPS.  We have filled the school with lots of pride and are learning how we can be responsible, respectful, caring, trustworthy, fair and good citizens.  We will continue to reinforce these positive character traits throughout the year.  If you are looking for some resources to use at home on character education check out the ones listed below.

Our letter of the week is letter Ss, for smile!  Just a simple smile can brighten someone's day. Spider, sun, scarecrows are great "S" words.  Smores start with letter Ss and we will be making this scrumptious snack for our cooking lesson on Thursday.See the recipe here. 
Songs start with Ss....so many Ss words can you think of some at home? Our songs that we will be singing and dancing to are Eensy Weensy Spider and There's a Spider on the Floor.
