The readers of 4Guarnieri had a blast this week as they explored different character traits! Through collaborative activities, they learned to identify positive and negative traits. They then discussed how emotions are linked to traits, and how feelings can influence behavior, connecting this to our social-emotional learning program, RULER. The students also made personal connections to the traits of characters in the texts, reflecting on how these traits relate to their own lives. Throughout this, we emphasized the importance of developing positive traits, as part of our Profile of a Ramsey Graduate! I am so proud of these learners!





The Dater School Winter Wonderland Concert will take place on Thursday, December 19th in the Dater gym. Fourth Grade concert at 9:15am, and Fifth Grade at 10:15am.
