Ms. Arrington\’s Class

We recently had our third Character Education Program of the year.  This program focused around Perseverance and “Never Giving Up!” We had visits from Rovercomer and Ima (a student of mine).  Rover showed us that perseverance is important when playing sports.  He showed us that you shouldn’t give up just because others are better than you, Rovercomer didn’t give up and he made the basketball team!  Go Rovercomer!  Ima visited us upset because she had failed a test, she was quiting school and giving up.  Ms. Arrington and all the kids of Watwood helped Ima to see that giving up is not going to help.  She just needs to study extra hard and get help from teachers and other students so that she can do better next time.  Thankfully, Ima did not quit after all.  She is sticking it out and working hard to do better next time - Way to show Perseverance Ima!

Kaylen Lowery, a student from the class was able to have a picture drawn by the spectacular French artist Tina LePue.  Tina LePue told Kaylen, “I’m am going to draw a picture of you.”  Kaylen posed for the picture beautifully, while Ms. LePue kept drawing strange pictures.  Finally, Ms. LePue did manage to compose a beautiful picture of the letter, “U”.  Way to be a good sport Kaylen!
