Citizenship & Respect for Others are the themes for this month. Your child’s class may be doing activities and lessons that focus on these topics.

The goal is to teach children how to be caring citizens and how to have respect for others. We would like to see children taking responsibility for what goes on around them. We want youngsters to realize that they need to do their part in order to make their family, their class, Center Street, Herricks, and the world a better place. As citizens, they need to participate in service activities and they must follow rules.   

Click on the links below that will take you to the Good Character website. Although we do not use the videos that they refer to on the site, there is a wealth of information for you to view. There are some suggestions of what you can do at home to reinforce the meaning and importance of citizenship/respect for others. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to view their suggested parent activities.
