Burying I CAN'T

The Leader in Me paradigm sees that every child is capable, every child is a leader. This paradigm changes everything.

This week we talked about using Proactive Language vs. Reactive Language.  Being Proactive means taking responsibility for your actions, not blaming others, having a positive "can do" attitude, and never giving up.  Then, we talked about being reactive.  Next, we went outside and buried a common reactive word (CAN'T).  Instead of saying I can't, we will say, "I will try, I think I can."

Second Week of School

Students playing first to 100

Last week we got to know each other, took some assessments, and tried to get everything accomplished to begin a scheduled day.

This Week:

*We will begin rotation classes.  The schedule is on this blog.

*We will begin learning about The Leader in Me.

*We will continue organizing our Homework Binders.  (more organizers)

*Remember to try and bring a snack every month to share with the class.
*Parents remember to write about your child in 500 words or less.  I also need your e-mail if you haven't given me one.  You can send everything to jan.farmer@usu.edu.
