Friday Forecast

Coming up this week...


Monday:
  • Character Trait of the Week: Responsibility
Interested in discussing responsibility with your child at home?
 Watch this short video together. After watching, discuss the questions listed below

Adventures From The Book of Virtues reinforces character education in an entertaining, fun way. This story is seen through the eyes of two kids, Zach and Annie, who live in a town called Spring Valley. They deal with the same pressures faced by kids everywhere, but they are able to turn to Plato the Buffalo, who lives in a cave high above Spring Valley. Plato has collected some of the world’s great stories and when Annie or Zach are faced with a difficult situation in their own lives, Plato and his pals know just the right adventure to offer.


After Watching Discussion Questions:
1. What does the word “responsibility” mean?
2. How did Annie fail to live up to her responsibility?
3. What should Annie have done with her assignment?
4. What did Daedelus plan to do with the feather wings?
5. What did he tell his son, Icarus?
6. What are your responsibilities?
7. What was the old lady trying to prove by tricking her children into returning home?
