May Character Value Patience
The ability to wait calmly
without
complaining.
“Patience is the calm
acceptance
that things can happen in a different
order than the one you have in mind.” - David G. Allen
Patience is the ability to countdown
before you blast off.
Essential Question:
What are my responsibilities within my school
and neighborhood to demonstrate patience?
Daily Modeling
➔ Wait your turn
➔ Don’t complain when you
don’t get your way
➔ Accept what cannot be
changed
➔ Use time wisely
➔ Try and Don’t give up
➔ Understand the feelings
of others
Role Model patience with your children is
important to reinforce these skills. Look for examples in your world of these
values and point them out to your children then decide as a family how y'all
are going to show patience during the summer.
Wishing you all a joyous summer break!
Make great memories!
You are making a difference!
