We begin each day at Calvert School with a handshake, and this Calvert tradition was the focus of our two-part character lesson on manners and physical differences. We practiced giving proper handshakes, which focused on matching the initiation of a handshake, grip, and eye contact of our partner.
We will spend the next week getting to know our Calvert community through our handshake meetings, as well as noticing one aspect of physical difference: eye color. On Friday we will discuss our handshake meetings and review the eye color differences present within our community. The boys will also spend time learning more about unique ways people from different cultures greet one another.
