My focus for this week's advisory lesson! Grit!

[Ms. Nieves T8 Humanities @beck_kindness]

This week is Random Acts of Kindness Week! Each day this week I am giving my students a Kindness Challenge. Today's challenge is to post a kindness quote on their social media. Of course, I wanted to participate and lead by example! 💜#kindnesscounts #doallthingswithkindness

As it is Women's History Month, my students have opportunity to choose a woman in history who represents the trait perseverance and create image to share on class daily agenda! Each day I will spotlight a student's choice! 💗 Today is Clara Barton! #WomensHistoryMonth2021

The quote shared today has been my son's favorite quote since 3rd grade and has it hanging in his room. Michael Jordan truly demonstrated perseverance especially when he failed! He definitely proves that hard work leads to success while learning from failures. #BlackHistoryMonth

It is the last week of Black History Month...today spotlights a quote from President Obama. The last line has become a favorite of mine. Powerful Char. Ed advice...another quote popped to mind "Be the change you wish to see in the world!"-Gandhi #BlackHistoryMonth #bethechange

A Kindness Boomerang!! One of the kindness challenges for my students this week was to leave a note for their mail delivery person. A student just sent me this pic...she got a note back! She was so excited! 💜 #kindnesscounts #kindnessboomerang

I love that the Mars Rover is named after one of Beck's core values! 😉 PERSEVERANCE! @DDouglasBeckAP @BeckPrincipal

[Ms. Nieves T8 Humanities @beck_kindness]

This week I have challenged my students to do acts of kindness for others: something unexpected at home...a "thank you" note for mail carrier... posting kindness quote on social media for friends... helping with snow cleanup. Many are accepting the challenge! 💜 #kindnesscounts

My mom always told me when I was young that "everyone has their own sparkle!" 💜 This John Lewis' quote resonated with me, and I shared it with my students today. No one should lose their sparkle due to behavior of others! #BlackHistoryMonth #RandomActsofKindnessDay

[Ms. Nieves T8 Humanities @beck_kindness]

For today's quote, we are celebrating 2 events! Black History Month and Random Acts of Kindness Week! Question asked by MLK...how are we serving others? I am challenging my students to complete a random act of kindness each day this week! Hope they take up the challenge! 💜

Happy President's Day! 🇺🇸 In honor of George Washington's Birthday, I chose my favorite quote of his that discusses the importance of why there is a need to study history! 🥰#PresidentsDay2021 #washingtonsbirthday

@WorldProfessor Thank you for speaking with CHPS history/humanities educators on Friday! I enjoyed your talk about Black History in NJ. I am not native to NJ, so the history was truly informative. The book you mentioned is being delivered today...I can't wait to dig deeper! 🤗

Frederick Douglass, whose birth date is unknown, chose to celebrate his birthday on February 14th, because he was his mother's "little valentine." Happy Birthday, Frederick Douglass!

Yesterday's Black History Month quote was from former four star general who served as the first African-American Secretary of State. His wise words are guiding principles for success...be prepared, demonstrate effort, and persevere through failures. #BlackHistoryMonth

[Ms. Nieves T8 Humanities @beck_kindness]

The Black History Month quote for today...Mae Jemison. She didn't allow those with limited imaginations stop her from achieving her dreams of becoming the first black woman in space! She had grit and determination to reach for the stars...literally! #BlackHistoryMonth

[Ms. Nieves T8 Humanities @beck_kindness]

The quote for today speaks of recognizing the humanity of others and the feelings we develop for our own dignity when we do. Thurgood led a life that truly demonstrated perseverance, integrity, and respect. His story is groundbreaking! #BlackHistoryMonth
