Life Skills

For the past few years we have been encouraging our students to use the life skills listed below in order to help them to deal with life's challenges. On a weekly basis our students nominate a classmate they feel exemplifies these skills. From the pool of nominations three children are selected and named as the "Stars of the Week". These students are then recognized in front of all of their peers from The Neighborhood at our weekly meeting. Their picture is taken and posted in our hallway. In addition each receives a small prize as recognition for their efforts.

 

The eighteen life skills are:

  • Cooperation
  • Curiosity
  • Flexibility
  • Patience
  • Common Sense
  • Perseverance
  • Effort
  • Resourcefulness
  • Initiative
  • Problem Solving
  • Integrity
  • Friendship
  • Responsibility
  • Organization
  • Courage
  • Sense of Humor
  • Pride
  • Caring
