The Leader In Me - The 7 Habits of Happy Kids
Practice Using the 7 Habit at Home!
As we learn about and practice using the 7 Habits at school, we want to share out activities that families can use to practice the 7 Habits at home. This week our focus is on Habit 1 - Be Proactive.
When we are proactive, we are displaying that we in charge of how we react to situations, people, and expectations. Learning to be proactive takes time and practice! Below is an activity that you can use at home to help build a proactive attitude and mindset.

Fun Reading Tips to Encourage Reading at Home!
Health Tips From Nurse Anna!
Handwashing is one of the most effective ways to help prevent the spread of germs. It’s never a bad time to teach (or reteach!) kids proper handwashing procedures. Here are 5 simple steps to make handwashing easy and fun to remember:
WET your hands with water.
LATHER your hands with soap.
SCRUB your hands for 20 seconds. Singing Happy Birthday twice, The ABC song and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star are all songs that can be sung while scrubbing. Remember the back of hands, between fingers and under fingernails. Germs are good at hiding!
RINSE your hands under running water.
DRY your hands with a clean towel.
Be a good role model. Kids look to the adults around them to set the standard. By washing your hands frequently throughout the day with the proper technique, sets a powerful example and shows that you think the habit is important.
Remind them often to wash their hands. It’s easy to remember when you see the dirt on your hands, but germs are invisible to the naked eye. Prompt them throughout the day to wash their hands especially before eating, after using the restroom and after blowing their nose.
Good hand hygiene will help combat the common illnesses that we see in the fall/winter months. Currently we are seeing the common cold, a stomach virus, pink eye and fall allergies.
Thank you for all that you do to keep our students safe and healthy.
Enjoy the beautiful fall weather,
Anna Robinette, RN
