Orchard Families,
Students are learning about being Responsible. Have some fun connecting as a family this month while practicing Responsibility. Here are 2 “Purposeful Pursuits” you can complete together!
1- As a family, think of ways to make someone’s life a little easier by helping a neighbor or family friend with 1 of their Responsibilities. Could you bring the garbage or take it out to the curb? Could you carry things in from the grocery store? Could you invite someone over for a meal or a show?
2- Review Responsibility as a family! Responsibility is taking action and understanding the impact of our choices. Choose 1 household chore (or more!) that requires multiple steps. Then have each family member select 1 step to complete to help get the job done! Maybe it’s washing the dishes, doing laundry, cleaning the living room, or unloading the groceries – whatever it is, see who can be the quickest or most effective at their task!
