Its the most wonderful time of the year! It's Book Fair Week! We hope everyone finds a great read this week.
Positivity Project: Knowing My Words and Actions Affect Others
This week, students will learn about another component of the Other People Matter mindset -- Knowing How My Words and Actions Affect Others.
On an individual level, our words and actions impact our relationships with other people. They have the power to lift others up or tear them down. But, our words and actions also impact ourselves. If I am consistently speaking or acting with an entitled, arrogant, or mean attitude, I’m going to find it tougher to tap into and exemplify the character strengths of gratitude, humility, and kindness.
When a group is comprised of individuals who are thoughtful about their words and actions; individuals who show respect and consideration for the people around them – we’re likely to have a happier and healthier culture.
