Dear Piper Prairie Families...
Dear Families,
As of today, we are halfway through our Apex leadership lessons! We learned all about habit #3 in coming together As One, which is to OWN IT! Apex talked about how this habit focuses on being accountable for all of the things in our lives. True leaders uphold their responsibilities no matter what. It’s also important that we are accountable when we make mistakes. No matter the moment, we own it!
🗣 : Discuss a scenario with your child when you had to be accountable for your actions and how you felt when you “owned it”. Ask your child to give you examples of what it means to them to “own it”.
Hoy, nuestra lección de Apex se centró en el hábito n. ° 2 de unirnos como uno. Apex nos enseñó cómo ser un emprendedor autónomo. Este hábito consiste en saber qué nos motiva a trabajar duro. ¡Los emprendedores se enorgullecen de las pequeñas cosas que nos ayudan a alcanzar el éxito! ¡Elegimos usar la chispa para animarnos y emocionarnos cada día para hacer nuestro mejor esfuerzo!
Please watch today's lesson video.
