Knight Lesson For The Week of November 6th- Pay Attention To Speakers

This week on Friday, we will celebrate Veterans Day.  Since we will be celebrating Veterans Day and there will be various speakers at the assembly, our focus for this week will be paying attention to speakers.  This emphasis is part of our PBIS Behavior Matrix and also connects with our Social Behavior goal of having responsible verbal and physical interactions with peers and adults.

Students can display respect for teachers and guest speakers by making sure things that might be distractions are put away.  Additionally, students should have their eyes on the speaker and should not be talking with other students.  Paying attention also means not distracting others with your feet or any movements that could cause a distraction.  Nodding and facial expressions can also signal to the speaker that you are paying attention to what is being said.

On Friday, we will hear stories from those who have committed so much for our freedom.  Let's show them our undivided attention!


Last year, New Glarus High School graduate Henry Janisch spoke at the Veterans Day ceremony.

It was an impressive competition that went well into the evening. We are proud of all of the students who participated in this competition. A big congratulations to 7th grader Lucy Sidwell, who was the Winner of the Bee, and to 4th grader Emmett Lamb, who was the runner-up. These two students will continue on to the regional Spelling Bee in Stoughton, later this month. We know that they will represent our school well!

Knight Lesson For The Week of February 26th- Be Responsible By Cleaning The Table and The Floor Around You

This week’s Knight Lesson is to be responsible by cleaning the table and floor around you. This is a great way for each of us to be a Knight. We can help each other out by working together to keep things clean. This will also help give others who come into our school a great impression of the school and its students. This is the same when you are in public places or at home. When things are clean we all feel better about the environment that we are in.

Knight Lesson For The Week Of February 5th- Be Kind and Encourage Others

Image
This week's Knight Lesson is to be kind and encourage others. Encouraging our peers can benefit both our peers and ourselves. When we encourage others, it can help them feel better about themselves and help them have the confidence to do things that they did not think that they could do. It does often come back to help us as well. When you see someone do something that they did not think they could do, you also feel encouraged to try new things and know that you helped someone else. Encouragement is infectious, when students see others being encouraging, it helps them want to be encouraging as well.
