Leader In Me
This week our teachers introduced the first lessons in Leader in Me. Throughout the next few weeks, your child will learn about the first two habits in this program that focuses on each child being a leader, displaying responsibility, recognizing individual talents, and empowering students. Habit One is Be Proactive. It encourages students to take responsibility for their actions, attitudes, and behaviors. Students will discover how to deal with situations proactively versus reactively, their circle of control (what they can control versus what they cannot control and the importance of handling challenges. Through videos, class discussion cards, simulation activities, and listening to stories students will foster a proactive attitude. How can parents participate in the Leader in Me Program? Discuss how each family member can be proactive at home. Ask your child, how they were proactive at school today? Share ways you are proactive at your work or home.
