Keep the Quote

Keep the Quote

Keep the Quote is a fun, weekly goal-setting  activity that we will do from now until the end of the year.  Each Monday, I will post a new quote (will also take quotes from student recommendations).  We will discuss what the quote means and how we can EARN that quote.  For example, if the quote is “Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody”, we would explain that our class should be trying to actively make others feel good about themselves.  They should be giving compliments to others and making sure everyone is included.

On each Friday, we will nominate students who have demonstrated qualities of the quote.  We will vote on one student and give reasons why that student ‘earned the quote”.  When there is a winner chosen, that student gets to “Keep the Quote”.  I will rip it off, we will all sign the back with words of encouragement, and they can take it home 🙂  Then we start again the following week with a new quote to work towards.  This all fits in with the spreading kindness and the new Habits Mr. Short has put into place each month.

I hope the students enjoy this activity and really look forward to making this a goal- to keep the quote!

Above is a picture of the quote for this week- out first quote!  Please talk with your child at home about what this means and ways they can “earn” this quote!  I will post a picture of the winner every Friday and tell you why they were nominated by their peers 🙂
