June Virtue: Responsibility

Being responsible means that others can depend on you. You are willing to be accountable for your actions. When things go wrong and you make a mistake, you make amends (make things better). You do not make excuses or blame others. The next time things go wrong, you know better and you are less likely to make the same mistake. When you are responsible you keep your agreements. You give your best to any task. Responsibility is the ability to respond ably; you try your best. It is a sign of growing up. 


We read the book, " Arthur's Pet Business"
Ask me what I learnt from this book. How did Arthur show responsibility in looking after the pets.  Ask me about he book.

Ask me how I show responsiblity at home and at school?

Our school has been selected to participate in Olympic  School visits as part of the 2014 Celebration of Excellence. 

The Canadian Olympic Committee will be bringing Olympians, Paralympians and Coaches fresh off the Sochi 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games to the Calgary area to celebrate the Olympic Movement.

Our school visit will be on Thursday, June 5^th.  The Olympians will arrive about 11:10 am and share in the gym for an hour.  This presentation will go into our regular lunch time.  If your child(ren) goes home for lunch they are welcome to bring a lunch and stay on June 5^th.

If you would prefer to have your child go home for lunch or day care, please let your teacher know and we will dismiss them at 12:00 pm and they can return at 12:45 pm.
