RV Elementary is focused on "Self Confidence" this month. Our KDT groups met on Monday to talk about the value of having self confidence. The students also worked on an activity where they wrote a phrase of self confidence on a miniature t-shirt. The picture below is our "Bulletin Board of Self Confidence". There are a lot of wonderful phrases or slogans that exemplify self confidence. Great to see!!
This morning at RV Elementary we held our March Lift-off. We talked about the month of March and all that will be going on. Included in the conversation was a talk about our KDT Word of the Month-"Confidence". Of course lift-off wouldn't be complete without our birthday kiddos and KDT drawing winners for March. It's a nice way to get our week and month started!

It was a great experience for all.
