December's Character Education Theme: Sportsmanship!
Posted by Ramona Ramesar on 12/13/2019
Our last lesson of 2019 was all about sportsmanship! We talked about what it means to show good and bad sportsmanship both on and off the field. Our kindergarten classes heard the story I Will Try, by Marilyn Janovitz. We learned how we should always try our best and never give up. We also saw characters in the book show kindness by helping others learn. Our first and second graders heard The Day My Dad Joined My Soccer Team by, Maureen Fergus. This was a funny and light-hearted story that talked about a Dad who was so excited to be on his son’s soccer team but needed some extra reminders about what it means to show good sportsmanship. Students did a great job identifying ways to show good and bad sportsmanship. We ended our lesson by decorating handprints with ways to show good sportsmanship. Check out our hallway mural with everyone’s handprint at the end of the month!
