NBES
Dear Broncos,
As you may already be aware, NBES has adopted a character education program called Core Essentials. This program is based on a monthly value that teaches our school community to:
Treat other right
Make smart decisions
Maximize potential
Along with a monthly assembly and daily announcements, teachers have access to a number of resources that help compliment that particular value.
This month’s value is Creativity. Here are a few suggestions in which this theme can be promoted at home:
SAY IT: Creativity is using your imagination to do something unique.
KNOW IT:
Ask a kid:
Have you ever made up a game to play with friends or by yourself?
Share ideas, dreams or thoughts you have had about something that you have
created or want to create.
.
Ask a grown up:
What does it mean to think outside the box?
When are you at your most creative?
Are you most creative when you are in a crowd, alone, busy, bored, happy, sad, etc.?
Share your experiences.
SEE IT: The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in Manhattan, New York displays some of the most creative works of art in the world. Art is not just paintings or sculptures, but can also be movies, songs, architecture, photos and books. Two and a half million visitors from all over the world enjoy these mediums and more throughout the year at MoMA. Check it out for yourself at moma.org.
BE IT: Research your area for opportunities to get your family involved in creative endeavors. Ideas include painting classes, pottery classes, and culinary classes. Participating as a family in these classes will give you an opportunity to exercise your creative potential and the opportunity to appreciate everyone’s imagination.
