CARES

We have completed our CARES project and your wonderful drawings are going up on our board to show how you demonstrate each of the different letters in school and at home. Remembering that the CARES acronym stands for
  • Cooperation
  • Assertion
  • Responsibility
  • Empathy
  • Self-Control
Today in your post, write an example of one of the traits that either you have demonstrated yourself, or seen someone else do. For example, Yesterday Reilly shows that he was RESPONSIBLE when he talked with Seth about how to get ready to go to lunch safely and calmly. Your post should give at least one example of something you or your friend did to demonstrate that our clas CARES!
