Mission Montessori MUSTANG Code November focus:
RESPECT
RESPECT: 
Respect requires an acceptance of other peoples’ opinions, points of view or actions even if you do not agree. Every individual has the right to their own values, thoughts and opinions. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that “all people are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” This infers that we must teach children to be accepting of others. Often, people want to be respected but they do not act in a respectful way. Showing respect and receiving respect are partners. One must give to receive.
Mustangs show respect by:
  • accepting the traditions of others (learn about someone)
  • admiring a person (acknowledge their accomplishments)
  • spending time with someone (express how important they are)
  • expressing ourselves in a positive way (communicate our needs in a kind way)
Teachers and staff members will be emphasizing respect throughout the month of November. Students who demonstrate "RESPECT" will be acknowledged during the assembly on Nov. 25
and given a Mustang Code "Respect" bracelet.
