THE BEARY BAKER BEE THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH:

Anthony Robbins quotes: “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more”.

The temperature has begun to get cooler, the leaves are changing color, and soon we’ll be turning back our clocks.  Change is sure.  Here at Baker, we are continuing to weave the tapestry of ‘character traits’.  Last month, we spun the threads of ‘integrity’.  The faculty, staff, and students are actively participating in the  ”Bee Awards” program.  This month, the fibers of integrity will be woven to ‘responsibility’.  Hence, you may want to discuss the following with your student:  

 What responsibility is and what a responsible person does.

Why it is important to behave responsibly.

 How irresponsible behavior can damage their relationships with others.

That being a responsible person results in better friendships.

How to solve problems by thinking.

Some characteristics of a responsible person:

Be reliable and dependable; when you agree to do something, do it.

Take care of your own business. Don't expect others to do your work.

Take responsibility for your actions; don't make excuses or blame others.

Use your head; think before you act; imagine the consequences.

Again we are asking that you help crystallize these characteristics at home.
