This month, we’re focusing on Cooperation as our Character Strong theme—“working together to reach shared goals.” Whether in the classroom, at home, or in the community, teamwork helps us succeed! Families, take a moment to talk about how you cooperate at home. What shared goals do you have, and how do you work together to achieve them? Cooperation is one of three traits we’re emphasizing this year to help students Be Kind. Through activities and discussions, students will build skills in perspective-taking, conflict resolution, and teamwork. Let’s make March a month of collaboration and kindness! 💙 View the family newsletter here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nXsCFoi2kHf7AQurqLC3615zg_M-XDmc/view?usp=drive_link #SalemSchoolFalcons #CharacterStrong #Cooperation
