Lucy got a virtue shout out at her school for Fortitude (which is a pretty cool deal for the kids)!
Lucy and Stella are in first grade this year. Their school uses the classical model of education. Part of this model includes the kids learning about (and hopefully displaying) some core virtues. The virtues they focus on in K-5 include:
In addition the virtue assembly is hosted by a grade every month- and this month, it was first grade. So both the girls sang with their classes songs about temperance. Stella's class sang about some sloppy goops who don't have table manners and Lucy's class sang about some mischievous kittens. Lucy is quite the socialite and entertainer (during class time), so we were proud of her when she received this acknowledgement of some virtuous behavior in a challenging situation! She had her named called and was asked to stand in front of the entire lower school along with all us parent people. Good job Luciana!
Lucy and Stella are in first grade this year. Their school uses the classical model of education. Part of this model includes the kids learning about (and hopefully displaying) some core virtues. The virtues they focus on in K-5 include:
- Justice (respect, friendship, kindness, generosity, fairness)
Justice means treating others with respect and taking responsibility for their well-being; fairness. - Temperance (order, courtesy, self-control, patience, obedience)
Temperance is about mastering ourselves for the sake of the happiness of those around us. It is about acting the right way at the right time. - Prudence (honesty, wisdom, integrity, gratitude, humility, care)
Prudence is about having sound judgment and making sound choices. It is about being thoughtful. - Fortitude (courage, optimism, perseverance, good citizenship, loyalty)
Fortitude means having the courage to face challenges and obstacles; persevering when things get tough.
