Responsibility

This month we are talking about Responsibility. One way to define Responsibility is “taking action and understanding the impact of our choices.” Taking action can mean doing the right thing or completing the tasks you have been assigned. Understanding the impact of our choices means that our actions matter. Positive and responsible actions can help people and irresponsible actions can hurt others.


While practicing Responsibility this month, 2nd grade students will be focusing on the idea of engagement.


  • being an active participant in school
  • leading and contributing when collaborating in groups
  • getting involved in school and community groups
  • building positive relationships
