I am so excited for next school year. After four awesome years in second grade, I found out that I will be moving back to first grade... YAY! But with great news comes great responsibility. So now I get to spend my summer updating all my classroom posters and decor to be first grade friendly. Since we are launching our Leader In Me curriculum next school year, I decided to start there. I updated the posters I made as an introduction to the 7 Habits last school year for my second graders. While the posters worked out perfectly last year, they needed a few changes to work out perfectly for first grade this year. Here are the first set of posters I made... I tweaked them just a bit by getting rid of the cursive font and adding clipart to help my early readers understand and relate to each of the habits. I think they turned out pretty cute, and I cannot wait to include them in my new classroom setup. I have a few more Leader In Me resources that I am working on for the classroom bulletin board to reinforce the 7 Habits throughout the school year. I will post them once they are completed.
Leader in Me posters can be a fantastic tool for inspiring and reminding students of the key principles underlying personal leadership and effectiveness..

I have been waiting to teach Habit 6 to our fifth graders because team building activities are my favorite activities to do with groups of kids! Habit 6 is all about the we, not the I. Together Is Better: I value other people’s strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people’s ideas to solve problems because I know that by teaming with others we can create better solutions than anyone of us can alone. I am humble. To begin, we each did a personality assessment that I found available to download here. Students rank themselves on the qualities they feel are most important to them across each row. It is important to learn about your own strengths and weaknesses so you can function best in a group. It is also important to learn about your group member's strengths and weaknesses so you can function best in a group. After we all figured out which "fruit" best described our personality, I told them which fruit they would be paired up with for a group challenge. They read through their partner's descriptions to think about ways that would improve their teamwork and communication skills. Then I introduced the challenge...the LEANING TOWER OF FEETZA! I found this free activity on a great website filled with team building activities, Playmeo. I typed up a quick synopsis to explain the goal of the activity, and with such a simple task (or so we all had thought), I set them off to start right away! Hilarity ensued, conflict ensued, problem solving ensued, chaos ensued! We all had a really great time and an even better debrief session on the challenge, on synergizing and on how knowing more about ourselves can make such a different in our everyday interactions with others.

Setting goals and working to achieve them is an important skill for students to learn starting in kindergarten.
I first discovered the language of "Leader vs. Boss" when looking up social skills concepts on the topic of bossiness. I found TONS of articles related to the business world on how corporate psychologists work with CEOs and business owners to help foster their skills so they are seen as a LEADER and not a boss. I mean honestly, it makes a difference. In my classroom I have a crowd of BOSSES. Last school year it drove me CRAZY. The kiddos that had leadership skills were constantly telling their peers what to do or how to behave, rather then being examples of positive behavior. I am so excited to introduce this concept on the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. Why the first day? Like I said, this behavior drove me crazy last year. Absolutely nuts. Plus, I am certain that many instances of bossiness created space for problem behaviors to manifest. So really, this needs to be tackled right away. I am ready to teach this skill immediately so we can confidently refer to anchor charts throughout the year to help shape behaviors and remind each student about the expectation of leadership. How? I am going to start my lesson by reading the book Bossy Flossy by Paulette Bogan (Below is an Amazon affiliate link if you want to grab the book!). We will create a list of the ways that Flossy showed bossy behavior and how it made others feel. Next we are going to talk about why someone might be bossy. They might want to lead, they might know the answer, they may have a lot to say, they may be in a bad mood. From there, I plan to teach my students the word leadership. We will use this Bossy vs. Leader t-chart from my Be a Leader, Not a Boss Activities product on Teachers Pay Teachers. I plan on making a poster sized version to keep up in the class, and have students follow along by also doing their own sort at their desks. Day 2... I plan to use the discussion cards from the same product to maximize & generalize their learning my using scenarios! These cards would also be great to paste in a notebook and use for journaling. I will also have students choose which coloring page they'd like to complete. I personally will have my students hang these on the front of their desks. My students LOVE having their art work hung right on their desk (they get so proud, it's adorable). After all is said and done... hang up these anchor chart posters and don't let them go! These will be perfect to refer to all year long when you see that a student is or is not showing leadership behavior. What ways do you teach leadership skills and combat bossiness in your classroom?
