Hello Everyone,
Hopefully you all survived the wet weekend with little damage!
With the new month, we begin studying a new character trait for the 'Leader in Me' character program. We are learning about 'Beginning with the End in Mind'; how to set goals for yourself and to follow through on those goals by establishing a plan.
On Friday I had several students tell me that their Mother forgot to put their homework in their folder or their Parent forgot to put their agenda back in their backpack. Those events were the starting point for a discussion about being Proactive (last month's character trait). I reminded students that their parents aren't in second grade and the homework belongs to the student, not their parents. I have established a goal for the entire class to take responsibility for their homework. I have challenged them to come up with a plan on how THEY, the student, will take responsibility and remember their homework on Friday.
We will create the plans this week.
Just a reminder that Wednesday is an early release day for students. Lunch will be served at the regular time on that day.
Have a wonderful week.
