Social Studies: We have started 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 1, Be Proactive.  This habit focuses on being in charge of yourself, your words and your actions.  We learned about the importance of saying, “It’s OK to walk away”.   

This week, we will learn about Habits 2, 3 and 4. Habit 2 talks about how to be proactive and making a plan. Habit 3 is learning to put first things first. This habit focuses on helping students learn to prioritize tasks in their daily lives. It teaches important executive functioning skills, which are 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.  

Habit 4 focusing on sportsmanship and celebrating each other’s win while celebrating our own efforts.
