Hamilton's Social Studies Update 9-5-23

We will continue 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.  

This week, we will finish up our review of Steven Covey's 7 Habits of leadership. Students will focus on Seeking First to Understand, Synergize, and Sharpen the Saw (which is better known as taking care of ourselves).

The Seven Habits  

  • Habit 1:  Be Proactive (You’re in Charge)  
  • Habit 2:  Begin With The End In Mind (Have a Plan)  
  • Habit 3:  Put First Things First (Work First, Then Play)  
  • Habit 4:  Think Win-Win (Everyone Can Win)  
  • Habit 5:  Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood (Listen Before You Talk)  
  • Habit 6:  Synergize (Together Is Better)  
  • Habit 7:  Sharpen the Saw (Balance Feels Best

We are continuing our leadership learning fun!
