This month Lincoln School is focusing on the hard character traits- Kindness and Mindfulness.\u00a0 <\/strong>Kindness is a behavior marked by ethical<\/a> characteristics, a pleasant disposition<\/a>, and concern for others. It is known as a virtue<\/a>, and recognized as a value<\/a> in many cultures.\u00a0 We will be teaching students to do something\/say something kind for no reason.\u00a0 Teachers will identify acts of kindness in books and in situations.\u00a0 Parents can help us by modeling kindness: by holding a door for someone, greeting someone with a smile or writing a note in your child\u2019s lunchbox.\u00a0 We will be emphasizing kindness by participating in The Great Kindness Challenge<\/em><\/strong> (see below information).\u00a0 Kindness matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can always give something, even if it is just kindness.\u201d \u2013 Anne Frank<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mindfulness is being in the present moment.\u00a0 We are teaching students to be mindful and present in their interactions in class by being active listeners.\u00a0 Students should also be mindful of directions, completing assignments to the bests of their ability, and checking over work.\u00a0 Parents can assist us by having discussions about personality traits, likes, dislikes or any topic that has children get to know themselves better.\u00a0 Parents can share how they deal with being overwhelmed and how they calm down.\u00a0 Some teachers have taught students to use breathing techniques to control emotions and parents can do this breathing together with them.\u00a0 Some find taking \u2018waking walks\u2019 to \u2018quiet the mind\u2019 as well.\u00a0 We hope our students will be mindful of their internal and external actions and thoughts and learn to have control over these.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>–\u00a0Mother Theresa<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
