Responsibility

Last month we talked about all of the Learning Skills that we see on Report Cards.  We looked at the specific examples 2/3M made for term 2 last year.
Today we are making our own anchor chart with specific examples of how we can show responsibility in this class, this year.
Here is a video we watched today.  The words to the song are below the video.

Responsibility Song
I am responsible, I am reliable
I always follow through, with what I say I’m gonna do
I am dependable, I hold myself accountable
I take responsibility, and do what needs to be done

I show self-control, use good judgment
I think about the consequences of my actions
Responsibility, it is my duty
Fulfilling all of my moral obligations

If I mess up I will always fess up
I will keep my head up, I’m never gonna give up
It is my duty and responsibility to follow through
You can count on me to do what I say that I’m gonna do

I never make excuses, when everything goes wrong
I take responsibility and don’t blame anyone
I put the blame on me, stand up and take the lead
Come now and follow me, let’s make this a priority

I show self-control, use good judgment
I think about the consequences of my actions
Responsibility, it is my duty
Fulfilling all of my moral obligations

This is what the report card says:
-Fulfils responsibilities and commitments within the learning environment.
-Completes and submits classwork, homework and assignments according to agreed upon timelines.
-Takes responsibility for and manages own behaviour.

Here's what we came up with:

Responsibility

This year, we will show responsibility by:

· Respecting the classroom’s materials and the other people in the classroom.

· Admitting if we do something wrong, trying to fix it and NOT blaming others.

· Doing our jobs.

· Being honest.

· Doing our best work, and remembering YOUR best is the best YOU can do.

· Paying attention when someone is teaching or helping us, and NOT letting our minds’ wander.

·  Helping others when they need it.

· Getting our work done on time.

· Keeping our dear teacher happy.
