The month of March we focused on the asset of “Restraint and Decision Making”

Restraint means: Being able to pause and think before acting, even when you feel excited, frustrated, or pressured by others. Good decision making means thinking about your choices and considering what might happen next before you act.

Instead of a book this month, the Asset Builders read a poem on Decision Making.

It's titled “The Choice is Mine”

“Before I act or speak too fast,
I stop and think a moment.
A choice I make can change a lot
More than I might have known.

Some choices help, some choices hurt,
Some lead the wrong direction.
But when I pause and use my mind,
I make a wise selection.

I think about what might come next,
And who my choice might affect.
The best decisions often come
From patience and respect.

So when I play or when I work,
Or when I’m with a friend,
I’ll pause, I’ll think, I’ll choose with care
That’s how good choices win.”

One place where we practice restraint and decision-making skills without even realizing it is when we play games. Board games require players to:

🤔Think ahead
🤔Make strategic decisions
🤔Control their reactions when things don’t go their way
🤔Follow rules and take turns
🤔Decide what move will help them most in the long run

So the Asset Builders spent their morning playing board games!🥰

MMN Elementary February 2026

In February, we talked about reading for fun. Not reading because you have to, but reading because you want to during Dr. Seuss’s “I love to read month!” The asset was we focused on was “Commitment to Learning – Reading for Pleasure!”📖 📕📚❤️

Reading helps your brain grow, but it’s even better when you read books you actually like.

The Asset Builders read a Dr. Seuss book to start off our activity and then had the elementary students think about what kind of books they like. They had four choices to pick from. There was Funny & Silly, Animals, Adventure & Action, and Facts & Learning. The students were able to see the book choices their classmates made and they were also able to see that their choices may be different from their friends.

There was no best choice. When but when you find books you enjoy, you’re building your Commitment to Learning, because learning works best when it’s fun.

MMN Elementary January 2026

Our job as Asset Builders is to help teach important building blocks of life. In January, we focused on the asset - “Sense of Purpose.”

“Sense of purpose” means believing that who you are matters, that you have strengths, and that the things you do can make a difference—now and in the future.

We usually start off by reading a book to the class, but instead we made one. There is a book called “I Am Me” that reminds us that everyone is important and has something special to offer.
