Self-control is our word of the month for the month of May at Forest Elementary School. 

Our students are learning that self-control means controlling your emotions, words, actions, impulses, and desires. 

Students are learning to show self-control by:

*thinking before we act.

*staying “in control” when angry without having temper tantrums.

*making good choices. (For example, walking in a line instead of running or eating a healthy lunch instead of junk food.)

*stopping yourself from doing something wrong or dangerous. 

*absolutely no hitting or fighting.

*being able to ignore unkind words.

*being willing to apologize.

*being willing to listen to each other.

*being willing to cooperate and plan together.

*being willing to discuss a problem with our words.

*being willing to compromise and meet in the middle.

*being able to walk away from a problem and choose something new.

Have SELF-CONTROL Bearcats! But most importantly…..BE KIND!
