On Friday, January 6th, we held the third of our 8 assemblies celebrating the Crocker Cougar “word of the month.”  The Cougar word for November and December was  “Acceptance.”    Ms. Fisher’s and Ms. Butler’s first grade and Ms. Ski’s 4th grade buddy classes were our “ Acceptance Cougars”.  At the assembly, Nico, Mason and Renzo, and (as representatives from each buddy class)  recited a poem called  “I Like” trading lines, with the entire buddy classes chiming in.  The poem was about accepting each other’s differences.

“i Like.”    I like soda.  <strong>I like milk</strong>.   I like satin. <em>I like silk</em>.   I like puppies.  <strong>I like kittens</strong>.  I like gloves. <em>And I like mittens</em>.  I like apples.  <strong>I like pears</strong>.  I like tigers.  <em>I like bears.</em>  I like to slide.  <strong>I like to swing</strong>.  (all) <strong><em>We don’t agree on anything!  </em></strong>I like butter.  <em>I like jam</em>.  I like turkey.  <strong>I like ham</strong>.  I like rivers.  <em>I like lakes</em>.  I like cookies.  <strong>And I like cakes</strong>.  I like yellow.  <em>I like blues</em>.  I like pizza. <strong>I like stew</strong>.  I like summer. <em>I like spring.  </em>(all) <strong><em>We don’t agree on anything!  Does that matter?  No!  We accept each other’s differences!</em></strong>

The Cougar Celebration board near the office also has a photo display of the buddies spelling out ” CROCKER COUGARS SHOW ACCEPTANCE!”    These pictures are also in the website Photo Gallery.    Thanks also to all the other teachers and students who learned about Acceptance these last two months.   Let’s keep that Acceptance coming:  here at school, at home, in the community, in the environment.  But don’t forget about Respect, our Cougar word for September and Cooperation, our Cougar word for October either!

And in case you missed it in last week’s bulletin, our Cougar word for January is <strong>Self-Discipline</strong>.  The website <a href=”http://crockerschool.org/”>http://crockerschool.org/</a> has more information about this important word!
