Thoughts become WORDS,
WORDS become ACTION,
ACTIONS become CHARACTER.
CHARACTER is EVERYTHING!

- Gentle Giants
share Character Education by Barbara Gruener
- In-Flight Productions
flew into Cline on Friday carrying a powerful character message
using exotic birds.
Trainer Michael Lyle from Magnolia brought his colorful feathered
friends Casey, Murphy, Coco, Astro, and Charlie to share with
students that being a person of good character will help them
take flight in life.
The presentation included
reminders like "to have a friend, you've got to be a
friend," and "even if you're different, well,
that's okay!" and involved a little audience participation.
Lyle said that his time spent training these birds has taught
him that even the strongest player, like the quarterback in football,
for example, can't do much without the help and support of his
teammates. Training also makes him appreciate the role of a coach,
citing how often teams fall apart without strong leadership.
During a question and answer session at third-grade lunch, Lyle
told students that these birds can cost anywhere from $500 to
several thousand, but that each one is special and he wouldn't
sell them for any amount of money. What an inspirational way
to kick off Character Counts!/Red Ribbon Week.

The "Grease Monkey Garage"
was a show that helped students learn about character. Mr. Lee
with Nana Puddin Productions gave the students examples of ways
to lift up their lives, find one good thing everyday about themselves,
and to find PEACE in our world. In life, choices bring good consequences
or bad consequences! The journey is up to each individual. During
the show, a broken down car is used as a vehicle for teaching
students how to "get up and go in the right direction."
In order to get headed on down that road, students learned to
FUEL the tank, FILL up the tires, FIX the engine and FOLLOW the
map. "The Grease Monkey Garage" gave students new tools
and ideas on how to repair their own engines. The show also gave
a big push for community spirit, hard work, and accomplishment.
Cline appreciates our PTO for helping us bring this presentation
to our campus.

Dear Parents,
Progress reports will soon be coming home
with your students.
Please remember this is just a progress report.
We are just beginning down the road of learning. Remember to
continue practicing reading and math skills at home daily. Also,
if you have any questions or concerns, contact the teacher to
discuss any issues.
Conferencing information for parents:
Remember teachers and parents often see the
student from very different prospectives.
Some areas to discuss with your classroom
teacher:
* What are my child's strengths and weaknesses?
* Is my child involved in any special instruction?
* Ask about reading and math strategies to use at home to improve
on skills.
* Grading requirements?
* Policy on homework?
* Are there any special problems relating to discipline or socialization?
* How well does my child communicate?
* What are the learning objectives during the current 9-week
grading period?
* Is my child motivated?
* What specific suggestions for improvement does the teacher
have for my child?
