We will start our “Leader in Me” unit.  In this unit, students will learn leadership and life skills to create a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader.  

Last week, we learned about Habit 3, Put First Things First.  This habit focuses on helping students learn to prioritize tasks in their daily lives. It teaches important executive functioning skills essential for managing everyday activities like making plans, solving problems, and adapting to new situations. By developing these skills, students can better organize their time and responsibilities.

Last week, we learned about Habit 1, Be Proactive.  This habit is talking about how to be proactive instead of reactive. This week, we will look at Habit 2, Begin with the End in mind.  This habit teaches us to make a plan before we just dive into things.
