This week, every teacher is teaching Habit 1: Be Proactive. We have so many great things going on. Below are a few things that kindergarten is doing to help our kids learn what it means to be proactive. I will be posting pictures of what our first grade teachers are doing later. They are on my phone and I can't get them uploaded yet. I will edit and add them later tonight or tomorrow. I hope to post later in the week from other grades and give more freebies away for Habit 1. This is all new to us so if any of you have any suggestions, please comment!!!!! Our 3rd grade team is working on a podcast that will be posted soon (THANK YOU 3RD GRADE!) click on each picture to download yours for FREE!!!!!! The first 2 things were sent to me by a teacher friend from Whitesville Elementary, Jessica Doughty. Thank you Jessica! There is a second page with this if you download with pictures that kids cut out and glue on the inside or outside of the circle of control Kindergarten has a CD with this poem as a song. I'm not sure where we got it. I'll look tomorrow when I get to school and see if I can let you know. But you could still recite it or have it posted. We are going to use it to teach the "Can Do" attitude to our kids. We are going to make playdough with our kids to use in reading and math centers. This activity will be whole group and we will do it together. However you have to use very hot water so the teacher must actually do the mixing while talking to the kids about the process. We are using this as Habit 1 because we will talk about being proactive while using playdough in centers. In order to make it last all year, we much be sure to BE PROACTIVE and put the top on the playdough each time or it will dry out. This is taking responsibility for themselves when they clean up their center.
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.
