This time of year is full of traditions. Perhaps you and your family always decorate your house with trees or light displays. Perhaps you had a turkey for Thanksgiving, or your family gathered at one particular family members house. Maybe you always watch the same movie together this time of year, or everyone jumps in the car to go look at various light displays.
In many ways, traditions are like habits; things we do over and over until it almost becomes second nature. We have our own traditions here at school. We hope to instill a love of learning, or at least the habits that support life-long learning. We say the pledge every morning to remember this great country we live in. We try to instill in students problem solving and creative thinking.
Our habits, like our traditions, say a lot about who we are and what is important to us.
Here are a few questions to get the conversation started this week::
1. What are your traditions this time of year?
2. What are some habits that you hope to develop?
Have a great week!
