Rules to live by

Yesterday the Oregonian published a list entitled, "Rules to live by in today's uncivil world"

They quoted the Washington Post as the source of the list, yet neither the Post nor the Oregonion provide a link to the list anywhere on their websites. In a world of nasty looks, rude gestures, and down right disrespect, the list provides an way to make our world a better place.

Here it is:
  1. Pay attention
  2. Acknowledge others
  3. Think the best
  4. Listen
  5. Be inclusive
  6. Speak kindly
  7. Don't speak ill
  8. Accept and give praise
  9. Respect even a subtle "no"
  10. Respect other's opinions
  11. Mind your body
  12. Be agreeable
  13. Keep it down (and rediscover silence)
  14. Respect other people's time
  15. Respect other people's space
  16. Apologize earnestly
  17. Assert yourself
  18. Avoid personal questions
  19. Care for your guests
  20. Be a considerate guest
  21. Think twice before asking for favors
  22. Refrain from idle complaints
  23. Accept and give constructive criticism
  24. Respect the environment and be gentle to animals
  25. Don't shift responsibility and blame

This Week in Core: May 5th - May 9th

Hello!

Wow, 74 degrees outside RIGHT NOW!!! That is very exciting, Summer it seems is just around the corner and Spring as e.e. cummings wrote is in fact "like a perhaps hand" (what does this mean? you ask...tell me in 5 sentences or more and you'll receive some extra credit).

It was wonderful to see so many of your smiling faces at conferences last week! As we wind down our time together becomes even more jammed to the brim with bits of this and that and all things CORE!

The calendar is online (check the website/google calendar for assignments).

Spelling note: starting today you can find your spelling words online at www.spellingcity.com Spelling City is a website that allows you to practice your words by playing games, working on sentences and more. Each week the challenge words and extra credit words will be available through Spelling City only!!

questions? comments? concerns? post a comment or shoot me an email!

Have a great week!!!
