Self-control is the character trait of the month at BES. Principal Kent opened the monthly assembly by talking to students about what self-control means and how and when to use it.
“Self-control is when I am in charge of what I do and say,” explained Principal Kent during the April assembly at Berlin Elementary.
Principal Kent’s lesson on self-control was followed by school counselor Ms. McCabe. She talked to students about how they can make good choices on the playground and discussed how self-control can be part of those good choices.
Lilly Meyers, Taylor Morse and Asia Mabee performed a skit for students during BES’s April assembly.
Spring state assessments began this week at BES. Mr. Dobbins helped calm any nerves and gave students some helpful information and tips about preparing for the assessments. He also discussed why assessments are important and provided some great tips to use during assessments.
Eating a good breakfast was one of the preparation tips and BES will be providing free ones to all students on the mornings of the assessments. For more tips click on this link for a short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5ufbqAzzC.
