Jefferson Primary School November Spot Award Honorees
The Jefferson Jaguars’ school community likes to “spot” its students for demonstrating they are safe, responsible and respectful. Similar to the spots on a jaguar, the Jefferson Spot Award program makes a statement.
“Each month we continue to award medals and certificates during a ‘spot’ assembly to students who demonstrate their ability to be safe, responsible and respectful citizens,” Jefferson Principal Valerie Capitulo-Saide said. “As Jefferson Jaguars, we ‘spot’ our students when they exhibit those characteristics.”
The Jefferson School community focused on a new traffic light speaking zones initiative during November. “The red represents silent, the yellow represents quiet working and the green represents quiet socialization,” Ms. Capitulo-Saide explained. “During daily morning announcements, fourth grade students have provided helpful tips that the students can put into action.”
Some examples of the tips provided include:
• The red zone is silent; silent hands, silent mouths, silent listening.
• Yellow zone is a whisper voice. A whisper voice means only your partners or group can hear you. It’s like you are trying to tell a secret.
• An example of a green zone is the cafeteria. You are talking with your friends using your inside voice.
