Catching up and on Medicine

Hi my little Mad Hatters!


I am very sorry that as of late things seem to be a little bit crazy.  As most of you know I have been battling a cold for two weeks which turned into Bronchitus.  Also, my daughter in real life has been very ill.  Needless to say it's been quite hectic.  I really appreciate all the offline messages, thoughts and prayers sent my families way.


I have updated the assignments page and the journals page here, so please make sure to check that when you can.  Our last class we talked about building trust and how easy it is to cause that tower of trust to come tumbling down.  We also talked about how it's not so easy to rebuild the tower because we have to clean up the mess that we made destroying the tower first before rebuilding.  I enjoyed our time together building our trust blocks and I hope you all did too. 


Tomorrow in class we will be discussing the 6 Pillars of Character and I will be handing out a notecard describing your class project for this term.  The project will also be under the "Projects" page here on the blog. 


I hope you all have had a nice weekened.

Ms. Charlotte is subbing

Hola Kiddos!

I will be late to class on Friday, February 18th due to a real life obligation, so Miss Char is going to be subbing for me untill I get back.  She will have a complete lesson plan for the class and your journal topic is already posted.  I expect all of you to be good little Mad Hatters for her.  If you have not handed in your Student Folders I will expect them in BEFORE class next Monday, February 21st.  When your name banners are done you can hand them in to me and we will be going over them on Monday in class.  If you have any other questions, please just send me a notecard.

Love is in the air ...

Hi Kids!


Happy Valentines Day and welcome back to school!!  Our first day of class was exciting but not too eventful.  For the first half of class we went around the room listening to everyone share why they joined the Character Counts! class and at least one thing they liked about themselves.  It was a very nice time of sharing between everyone.  After that we took our break and walked to the cafeteria to have a snack.  Our class is kind of a late time slot, so we deffinately needed the pick-me-up.  After we got done with our snack time we came back to the room to start our lesson for the day.  We created Name Banners using positive words on notecards and there was also a homework assignment associated with it that is posted under the "Assignments" Tab.  All in All a good first day back.  Please make sure you check the "Journal Topics" tab and have your journal assignment finished by the time Friday comes.  In the future we will do journal topics in the beginning of class.  I hope you all have a nice week and I'll see you Friday!

Welcome to the Tea Party!!

I would first like to say, Hello and Welcome all new and returning students.  I am very excited for this new term at Oceanside to start.  If you look to the top of this post right underneath the picture there are tabs.  Each tab will hold signifigant information for our class and the work we will be doing.  Please make sure that you are checking all the information areas so that you do not fall behind in class.

My hope is that Character Counts will not only uplift all who participate but also the people that they come into contact with. 


It is my firm belief that when you feel good about yourself and display good character attributes you uplift those around you. 


I look forward to seeing you all on the first day of school and I really appreciate your willingness to spend precious time with me learning.
