A student values his education and makes positive choices in regards to making time for homework, hobbies and his family responsibilities.
The student prioritized his homework and his extracurricular pursuit of cup stacking. Without being asked to schedule homework completion or cup stacking practice after school, he set aside time and completed both. He demonstrated awareness of his educational and extracurricular responsibilities, thus taking responsibility for his learning. He recognized his actions affect whether or not he would reach the goals he set: to do well in both school and in cup stacking. As he said, “ if you practice you get better.”
While many students today are driven to school, this student decided to begin walking to school, without a parent. He explained his two goals: to walk with his sister who was in Kindergarten and to arrive at school on time. He takes responsibility for his travel to and from school, and follows through on his commitments.
In a safe, supportive environment, I can share my ideas and accomplishments, and accept responsibility for my actions.
I can use strategies that increase my feeling of well-being and help me manage my feelings and emotions. I can connect my actions with both positive and negative consequences. I make decisions about my activities and, with support, take some responsibility for my physical and emotional well-being. I can express my wants and needs and celebrate my efforts and accomplishments.
