Sarasota Suncoast Academy
(opens in a new tab)Sarasota Suncoast Academy is a tuition-free, public charter school that focuses on the whole child!
Our students took on the responsibility of caring for some unique “pets”—plants, desk pets, and even water balloons—as they focused on the C.A.R.E.S. value of Responsibility this week.
Kindergarteners learned that having a pet requires responsibility while caring for and watering their class plant “pets.” Our third graders responsibly brought their desk pets to and from school each day, while our fourth graders had perhaps the trickiest job of all—keeping their water balloon pets safe in the special homes they designed and carrying them between home and school all week without a single pop!
Responsibility also looked like our youngest learners remembering to bring to school their backpacks and snacks, completing projects and taking care of classroom materials.

This week, our students are focusing on the C.A.R.E.S. value of Assertion, learning to use their voices wisely, express their thoughts and ideas, and communicate with confidence and respect amongst their peers and teachers. Learning to be assertive helps build the necessary communication skills that are an important part of a strong educational foundation.
