Charlotte is a great example of compassion. When her classmates need help she is always willing to truly help them, even teaching them how they could also try to solve what they are working on. When her classmates are not feeling well or are sad she is always paying attention and trying to make them feel better with her words and actions. Way to go Charlotte! Your classmates and teacher are proud of you.
Last week, our 5th grade students were studying about animal skulls. One of our bus drivers, Mr. Brandon Odom who is a hunter, brought in some of the animal skulls he has as a part of his collection. Students had an awesome time listening and learning about the various types of skulls he has collected through his many years of hunting.
Daniel is a boy who exhibits compassion for others across settings. He is not only helpful to others but understands the value of demonstrating love at the correct time. Every year, during book fair, we send Daniel money to buy one book and he always comes back reporting he bought something for a classmate who did not take any money or will pay the rest for a child who did not have enough. He has done this since Kindergarten when he attended school in NJ. When Daniel was younger, we went to a public playground and there was a child who had some developmental delays. After a while I realized Daniel trying to communicate with the child using gestures, he was calling her to follow him in the tag game. After a while, I realized the girl was mute. Despite not knowing sign language and understanding the girl could jot communicate with him the way he communicated with others, he included her and played with her. At the end of their game when we were about to leave, Daniel went to the girl and hugged her. It is beautiful to see that Daniel is concerened with others and is willing to help others with the little things, even if that means, he will have a bit less or play a different version of a game.
Fourth Graders had the opportunity to go to Meymandi Hall in Raleigh and hear the North Carolina Symphony perform today. Students were able to see the various families of the orchestra. What an awesome opportunity for these students! Everyone had a great time.
We hope you have a fabulous day!

Mason is truly compassionate in all aspects. In his interactions with teachers, he is always showing respect and ensuring that his words are compassionate. His teacher says he has witnessed several moments where Mason was compassionate towards the other students in the classroom. He goes out of his way to clean up areas of the classroom that were not dirtied by him, initiates conversations with his classmates to ask if they need help, and kake sure his classmates are taken care of. Mason does a fantastic job of exemplifying this month's core value of compassion! Congratulations Mason!
