Awesome Citizenship

This week, we began to learn about the Cocoa Principles!  Each kiddo has a star hanging on a bulletin board with their name on it.  On each point of the star, there is a Cocoa Principle.  (Community, Opportunity, Citizenship, Ownership and Academics) This week, we learned about community, opportunity and citizenship.  Students work towards earning a sticker for each point of their star.  When they earn a sticker for each of the points of the star, they get to pick a prize out of the prize box! 

To earn a sticker for community, students should show consistent efforts in saying hello and smiling, respecting the differences of others, and encouraging others in their words and actions.

To earn a sticker for opportunity, students should show consistent efforts in including and welcoming others, taking chances and participating.

To earn a sticker for citizenship, students should show consistent efforts in doing what is right even when no one is looking, for treating others as they would like to be treated and by volunteering to help others.

Here's a picture of good citizenship!!
