 What is Ethos you might ask?


Ethos is a Greek word meaning "character" that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology.

Morning Ethos allows our classroom to set a positive tone for the day, to learn of recent student accomplishments, to hear announcements, to start the day with an inspirational message, to present a common and unified message, and to experience a sense of community.  The experiences that we will share in Ethos are lessons in empathy and compassion.  Through Ethos, our class will see powerful messages to help us open our eyes to the different challenges that we face. We will applaud the successes  that our classmates have sports teams and clubs in and out of school, we will celebrate birthdays, we will mourn losses whether to our community or the outside world, and we will share our viewpoints.  We will study the 8 Student Aspirations (Belonging, Heroes  Curiosity & Creativity, Spirit of Adventure, Sense of Accomplishment, Leadership and Responsibility, Fun and Excitement and Confidence to take Action)  throughout the year via our Morning Ethos.


Everything is awesome...

I hope you had a great weekend.  Sorry there was no meetings yesterday morning.  Monday's group I will be trying to meet with you all over the next 2 days.  I will email parents for a time.  :).

I would like to talk about Flip Grid.  I love that many of you are loving it.  I am noticing that some are using it to make personal videos and responses that do not relate to the topic or giving a kind response.  Please be aware that it is for learning about one another.  Please use it as that.  It is monitored.  If it is used for another purpose I may have to close it.  I know that we can count on one another.  :)

This week we are going to have writing sharing on Thursday and on Friday we will be going on a virtual field trip again.  :)

Sharing today:  Roses and thorns

We will go over reading and writing.
