​

Our character education theme for the month of February is HONESTY.  It is important that children to be truthful. It is equally important for all people to be fair and trustworthy. We need to model honesty for our children so they will learn from example.  In our class we are learning it is important to tell the truth, and it is also important to be fair with others and not take unfair advantage of them in any situation.  We will be encouraging honest behavior throughout the month (and always) through various activities and discussions.  Please encourage honesty at home as well. Parents can help by reminding their children how important it is to always be truthful and trustworthy.  Please help your children understand honesty by modeling, having discussions, and stressing the importance of appropriate ethical conduct (such as honesty).  The possibilities are endless!
