Character Education: Counselor Connection
Students are continuing with the 7 Habits of Happy Kids during counseling time with Mrs. Meeks.
Habits are things that we do without even noticing because they are ingrained in our daily routines. We want to focus on developing positive habits that help us become successful and happy!
The students are currently working on the following habit:
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, and Then to be Understood.
Habit 6: Synergize-Creative Cooperation
In Power UP, students are working to set goals for the New Year!
- Goals for DRA Reading levels have been established for students to work towards "Ringing the Bell" if they meet their goals.
- We are learning how to have "Grit" and not give up when things get challenging.
- You can accomplish BIG THINGS with a Growth Mindset!
