One Word Goal for Students

On Monday's PETV we will be encouraging our students to select their "one word" to guide them for the remainder of the school year.  This was completed last week by third grade classes in the south building, and was such a meaningful goal setting activity for students.  Teachers provided a brief process for the students to carefully determine their one word. This work is hanging in the hallway if you would like to see it.  

We would like for all Paine Students to select their one word (and have it in their agenda at a

minimum).  Our Art Teachers will be coordinating a project in a few weeks where students will paint a rock containing their "one word", and we will construct a rock garden in one of the enclosed areas of the school.  We hope this will become a tradition, and when students leave our school after 5th grade, they are able to take all of their "one word rocks" with them.  The following is a visual of what we envision the rock garden to look like. It will serve as a motivational reminder of student goals, as well as add to the beauty of our school.
