This week's Integrity Time letter is W for Willing! To be willing is a quality that means that you are hard working, determined, and cooperative. It means you think of others, not just yourself. We should all be willing to choose what is true, and good, and right. Today be willing to think of others. Challenge yourself to do at least one nice thing for someone else today!
Parents, I really liked the ideas listed below from one of my favorite authors Julia Cook. I hope you find it as helpful as I did.

This week's Integrity Time letter is W for WILLING. Sometimes it is so hard to be motivated and willing to make the right choice. Today I attached a story about a little engine that was willing to go the extra mile even when it was UPHILL! We can learn a lot from that little engine. Enjoy the story! Be willing to help others today.

Starting today, Story Time Live with Mrs. Amanda will be at 10:00 instead of 10:30. She reads amazing stories on her FaceBook page Lil Jags Library. There will be a book collection station out front of DCPS Tuesdays-Thursdays beginning tomorrow. If you student still has a library book checked out, you can place it in the bin at your convenience. If you have any questions contact your child's teacher or email Mrs. Amanda. Teachers are also beginning to pack up classrooms. Please contact them to schedule a time you can come by and gather your student's things. Your child's teacher also has bracelets from the school fundraiser and class group pictures to pass out. 2nd graders - DeSoto Central Elementary's counselor, Ms. Jenny Solomon, is working on creating a virtual tour of DCE. Once it is completed, I will send it out to all of you! New Kindergartners for the 2020-2021 school year - I am also working on a virtual tour of our school. Once it is completed, I will post the tour on my website. K registration for next school year will begin in June. I will post more information when I have exact dates. Finally, Teacher Appreciation Week is the week of May 4th- May 8th. Please draw your teacher a picture or write them a kind note. I know this is not how we wanted to end the year, but we can choose to be WILLING to end it with a kind word or deed.
Happy Friday!
Take time today to relax and be VERY good at having some FUN! I have posted pictures posted below of fun ideas. The first picture is one of my favorite toys, the second picture is a fun outdoor activity, and the last picture is an art activity I am going to try. Most importantly, just get up and enjoy the day doing whatever you like to do! I hope you have enjoyed this week's Integrity Time letter V for VERY. I know I am VERY lucky to have you all as students. I feel VERY certain you all are working hard to become good at learning something you want to do VERY well. I have attached my video below of me reading to you about our Integrity Time letter. Remember, whether it is an issue of integrity (like determination or manners) or an issue of learning something new (like baseball or math), through hard work and practice you can become VERY good at something! Your hard work will pay off and you'll become a VERY good Kid of Integrity! This week's Integrity Time letter is V for Very. To become VERY good at something takes hard work and determination. You can become VERY good at issues of integrity. What is something that you need to improve upon? Do you need to be more loving, have better manners, become more optimistic? Whatever it is, it takes practice and hard work to make good choices. Your hard work will pay off and you'll become a VERY good Kid of Integrity!
I know this week we have worked at becoming VERY good at being kind. Today, I thought we could work also at being VERY good at calming ourselves down when we become upset. Try some of these ideas until you find something that works: counting as high as you can, deep breathing, walking, or creating a special calm down corner with items you love or something to color. On April 16th I posted instructions for how to make your own stress ball. I have attached a video today that may be more helpful. Try it here :https://family.gonoodle.com/activities/how-to-make-a-squishy-stress-ball You can practice your breathing and stress relief with GoNoodle's new Bear Breath activity below: https://family.gonoodle.com/activities/bear-breath or try these: family.gonoodle.com/activities/find-peace https://family.gonoodle.com/activities/shake-it-off
I recently read Enemy Pie to first and second graders. After we read the story, we made our own recipes for getting rid of our enemies. We called them kindness recipes. What was the one sure way to get rid of enemies? Was it to feed them worms or rocks in a disgusting pie? It was such a fun book for us to read together and predict what would happen next. I have attached the read aloud version of this book below. Enjoy it together as a family. Afterwards, create your own family recipe. Since this week is V for VERY, you all can become VERY good at putting together your own kindness recipe for your home. My example for school is below to give you ideas. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.
I thought you all might enjoy some familiar pictures from school. One thing I think we can all work on at home to become VERY good at is kindness. For some people this time is hard, scary, and even stressful. It can be easy to be annoyed with brothers/sisters. This week, practice becoming VERY good at being kind. Try cleaning your room, helping someone do something, complete chores without being asked, or use only kind words all day. One very kind thing you can do is send a thank you picture to your teacher. If your parents allow you, draw a thank you picture for your teacher. Ask your parents to text or email the picture to your teacher May 4th for teacher appreciation. I know this is a fun way to spread kindness!

I know last week we received big news that may be difficult to understand. It sometimes takes a long time to process change. Give yourself and your child a lot of patience and understanding as the information that we will not be returning to school this year may take time for them to comprehend. We are all going to have to work together to be determined to find the bright side of our time at home. This week's Integrity Time letter is V for VERY. I can't help but think we can take this extra time at home to become VERY good at something like riding your bike without training wheels, drawing, or building puzzles. I posted a video below of the Pledge of Allegiance and me reading this week's Integrity Time letter for you all to enjoy. I have attached a link to 230 dinner conversation starters for family discussions below. Maybe your family feels you have run out of things to talk about after being home together so long, maybe your children are bored, or maybe you just need something new to talk about over dinner. Take a look at the web page below and try the conversation starters out! www.ahaparenting.com/parenting-tools/communication/family-discussions
