In leadership we have been working on habit 2. Begin with the end in mind. That means making a plan knowing the outcome. Students are now using that in everyday life by figuring out the plan to attack leading to the outcome.

So every day 2 and day 4, we have Big Band. And we also have lessons, people have band lessons on day 2, day 4, or day 6. Lessons are when you meet with Mrs. Russel and play the daily songs for her. Big Band is when all the people that are in band, go to the band room and practice all together!

Social Studies
In Social Studies we have picked one country to do research on, We have learned that each country is so different then others. We had to learn about there country like there history, lifestyle, society, and there people and places. The experience was hard and fun at the same time , once we learned all are info we made a slide show about our country we picked, finally we presented it to our class it nerve-racking to present to our class but at the end of the day we all did great.

Leadership Roles
Emily and I (Gaby) are going to talk about Leadership Roles that we have been doing from the beginning of the year. The first Leadership Role is morning announcements. This job is where 5-k gets to go on the intercom and greet our school by saying the lunch and the day of the week and the birthdays and much more. The second Leadership Role is mentor. This job is for just 5th graders. It is for kids that need help with different subjects or behavior. A 5th grader goes down to that classroom and help that kid. The 3rd Leadership Role is assembly leaders. They help speak at assemblies and put together ideas. the 4th Leadership Role is the assembly planners. They help take the ideas and put those ideas in order for the assembly. The 5th Leadership Role is assembly designers. Those people help design the assembly.
