Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind

Thanks to all the parents that were able to come to the Leadership Lunch.  All third grade classrooms had close to 100% attendance.  We appreciate you taking the time to come and learn about the 7 habits of leadership and how we are applying those in our classrooms.
This month we will dive deeper into understanding Habit #2: Begin with the end in mind.  This means to have a plan.  Students will be setting new goals for their learning and practicing ways they can plan ahead.  In our counseling class we have learned how to handle our emotions.  We planned ahead by practicing ways to calm ourselves if we are excited, worried, angry, or sad.  Kids THRIVE on a consistent schedule and it helps to know ahead of time what to expect so they have strategies to cope with the way they are feeling.
