Positivity Project
Each week, students of Washington Mill are introduced to a new character trait on the WMES Morning News Show from the Positivity Project. Administrators give a brief explanation of the character trait to the school community, and each classroom is assigned a character trait to present to the school community. In the past students have created videos, read books, talked about their personal experiences with the character trait, and illustrated pictures.
For the week of December 16-20, we will be focusing on
SELF-CONTROL - Ms. Pubill's 4th Grade Class
WHAT DOES SELF-CONTROL MEAN?
This is something you can discuss with your children during dinner, while getting ready for bed, or even in the car while driving.
You have the ability to control your emotions
and behaviors. You think before you act.
Self-control is the act of managing behavior in a way that
positively influences goal attainment and living up to
standards. Possessing this strength protects people from
destabilizing emotional extremes. Those with self-control
are able to limit impulsive behavior. They have the ability to
experience and navigate difficulty while remaining poised.
They understand that through discipline and restraint, there
are greater, long-term goals that they can accomplish.
Self-control
is related to prudence, in that people with this
strength are able to implement extended planning
techniques in pursuit of difficult task completion. Self-control
does not mean a lack of thoughts, feelings, or
impulses; it just means you have command over them.
Advanced Academics Parent Referral Information
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This is a friendly reminder that the deadline for referring students in Grades 2-7 for AAP full-time Level IV consideration is due no later than January 9, 2020. Parents are welcome to submit early, but no late referrals will be accepted. We advise parents not to wait for pending abilities test scores if they would like their student screened. While the Grade 2 screening pool casts a starting point for screening some students, test scores are only one factor in the eligibility decision.
If you would like more information about Level IV AAP services or the screening process for Level IV, there are two parent presentations available on the AAP public website that have the same information that was shared at our local school information meetings.
Referrals can be submitted to Kirsten Habib (KLHabib@fcps.edu) at any time up through January 9.
