Ms. Hayes's Color of the Week: Red
Ms. Hayes and her students learned about the color red all last week and decided to show how much they loved learning about the color by wearing it on Friday. Don't they look good in all that red?
Garden Hero
Zion Blash was a garden hero with his amazing observation skills. He spotted a tomoato hornworm and saved the delicious cherry tomatoes! Way to go Zion!!!
Habit #2 - Begin with the End in Mind
Begin with the end in mind gives you the confidence to make goals based on what's important to you...not to someone else. We encourage you to make a plan for your future right now. Do you take out your clothes the night before school so you don't have to rush the next day? Does your child complete his or her homework before returning to school the next day. We all have things that we can improve upon. Therefore, we all need to reflect on some things in our life that we would like to see get better.
Family Activity: Talk with your child about their future. Ask them what they would like to be when they grow up. You could also have your child list three goals they would like to achieve in life. Keep it in a safe place and revisit it often to monitor the progress towards those goals.
Habit #2: Have a plan!
