Light
the

We

and
will
host
a
pizza
and
pricing
event
from
5:30
until

for
the
4th
graders.
Of
course,
if
you

donate
items,
you
are
welcome
to
bring
them
already
priced.
Mrs.
Johnson
has
agreed
to
NOT

participate!
The

take
place
at
my
house
at
3906
E.
Eastmoor

We
are
the

It
will
be a
busy
week
with
both
the
bake
sale
and
garage
sale,
but
it's
all
for
a
great
cause!
And,
it's

my
garage!

Love and Logicisms , Wise Words About
Kids
by Jim and Charles Fay
Chores represent the basic
foundation for cooperation
with parents and other authority
figures.
Chores are so important to lifelong
success that wise parents win the
battle over them at all costs--for both
themselves and their children.
|
Love and Logic Stories
Chores in the Classroom (and we have
them in the 4th grade!)
The most successful teachers create
a sense of family in their
classroom. Some of them do this out
of great gut-level instinct. Others
understand the scientific research
on human emotional needs. We all
need to feel safe, to feel connected
to a group, to feel needed, and to
feel loved.
Student chores are an essential
component of developing this sense
of classroom family. One teacher
commented:
Years ago, I discovered on accident
how important chores are. Because I
was getting old and lazy, I decided
to put my students to work on the
tasks I didn't like doing. They all
had jobs such as organizing the
books, erasing the board, getting
markers, throwing away junk that
fell on the floor, etc. One day, a
heated argument erupted between two
of my tougher students. When I asked
what was going on, one replied,
"He's doing my job!"
In the book
Teaching
With Love and Logic,
Dave Funk comments on his own growth
as a teacher:
I realized that every time I did
something for kids that they could
do for themselves, I was limiting
them in the long run.
Chores aren't punishments! They're
opportunities for students to feel
great about themselves!
Thanks for reading!
