Leadership Meetings are scheduled for Friday, Sept 8! WHOO-HOO! I love these days because the kids are so excited about their jobs. I'm excited to implement the leadership committee's idea about the Habits lessons this year too! I've already seen first grade working on developing their Leadership binders! This will be a great year for our Leadership program, and we will talk about some of those things at the staff meeting! Keri has shared the Google Doc of Leadership Jobs with you. The locations are included on the doc. You may want to consider labels or index cards for your students labeled with groups to help get students where they need to go!
