Habits to Home
Kenwood Leadership Academy Magnet School - May 2017
Celebrating our Journey
Books Without Borders
Specials Night Learning Celebrations
Leadership is everywhere at KLA. Students demonstrated their leadership and learning in Music, Art and PE by synergizing with families!
Think Win-Win
LEAD Time: A "BIG Rock" at KLA!
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
During the first two weeks of May, students will be focusing on creating Win-Win situations. They will learn about the balance of being considerate of others while still aiming for their goals. When we create Win-Win's, everyone wins! Talk to your child about what Win-Win's look and sound like!
Habit 6: Synergize
Mid-May, students will dig deeper into Habit 6, Synergize. When we synergize, we work together to create solutions that wouldn't be possible on our own. Part of working together is appreciating the strengths of others.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
We will end our year with "Sharpen the Saw." We are really excited about our upcoming "Sharpen the Saw Day" on May 26. On this day, students and staff will participate in activities that are passion/interest based. Stay tuned for more information!
Extended Day Program - Project Based Learning
The learning and service doesn't stop there! EDP students have challenged our Kenwood Leadership Academy community to "Pay it Forward." What act of kindness could you show to help someone? Our students would love to hear about how you "Pay it Forward." If you choose to show an act of kindness, please let us know so that we can track our impact.
Find us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/KenwoodCR and use the Hashtag #KLAForward
Whose idea was all of this? The students!! While growing academically, they also practiced and grew in their leadership skills!
Way to go Mrs. Buckley, Mrs. McDowell and all of our EDP Learners!
