Don't Miss the Best

"If you never did you should.

These things are fun,

and fun is good."

Seek First to Understand

The conversation started with the reading  of this article in the latest edition of

Scholastic News. 

#HistoryLesson

They couldn't understand why 

African Americans were not

allowed to eat in restaurants with

white customers.  After all this happened routinely, long before they were even born.   

#ClassDiscussion

One boy summed it this way:  

"If we took the skin "off"of you or

I, of anyone at all..... we'd still be human

beings.  So there really is no difference."

#2ndGradeWisdom

Best lesson of the day.....maybe of a lifetime.

Seek first to understand, 
then to be understood.

#FelineWelcome

February's Community Cafe

We're making choices to 

 improve ourselves, from The Seven Habits.

We're trying to put 
our habits to use each day.  

It's not hard when we have encouragement!

Our teachers help each of us by giving

 support & include everyone
 when our classes make decisions. 

#AWorkInProgress
Thanks to all, for your support!

Synergy

We know that each member

of our squad is good at something.

It means listening & learning

from our teammates & both coaches.

Congratulations to 

The Lawrenceville Braves, 5th & 6th 

grade student athletes on a third place

finish @ their tournament this weekend! 

"What is love?  

Love is playing every game like it's your last."

#EvolveLadiesEvolve

Sharpen the Saw

We all know

that balance feels best!  

We learn in lots of ways and
 places, in addition to what's gained at school.

Serving others with

 projects that The Lawrenceville 

Boy Scout Troop is involved with?

#Priceless

Begin with the End in Mind

Improve those skills?

Yes because we plan ahead,

set reading goals,  and strive to meet them.  

#LexiaHumor

Getting rid of that "apple," oh yes!

#WeLaughAndLearnTogether

Be Proactive

A load of "goodies" checked out from
Mrs. Wesley in our Media Center 

during Fifth Grade Specials, yes!

Let's see:  fiction, poetry, autobiographies....a little bit of everything in tow, back to our room.

#Heavy

#Teamwork

We do the right thing without
being asked, even if no one is looking.

Think Win-Win

We know everyone can be a success!

"It's sunny out there

with a chance

of happiness!"

Lovely weather we're having!

#RandomActsOfKindness

Synergy

We're a dedicated squad.  

What does that mean?  

We cooperate with one another
& get ideas from our coach as well as 

teammates.  That helps everyone improve.

 Congratulations Lawrenceville Braves-
5th and 6th grade players with Coach 
David Conner.  The squad won their
tournament on Saturday February 
11th by defeating Robinson and going
onto the final victory over Marshall.
#Proud

Sharpen the Saw

We take care of ourselves
with exercise, healthy
foods, and getting plenty of sleep.  

Balance feels best!

Be Proactive

Standing in the hallway 

one morning, these pupils heard 

the beginning of The Pledge of 

Allegiance over the intercom.

Right away, they joined in.

We do the right thing without

being asked, even if no one is looking.

Tell the Story

Someone born on the

same day of the year as you?

That's your "birthday buddy!"

#Celebrate

We age not by years, but by stories.

Think Win-Win

We want everyone to be a success.

Not just one person, every person!

It's what love "looks like,"

when you feel connected and happy.

It's not just a one-person job

yet the results are truly beautiful!

The Moment Took My Breath Away

Last month Miss Jackie Evancho sang

 our National Anthem on January 20th

during the Inauguration of the 45th

 President of the United States.

So did all the youth in Angie Grimes'

third grade classroom, spontaneously.

#History

Synergize

We can all learn something from each other.

 Working in groups helps create better
 ideas than what one person can do alone.
