We are a Leader In Me school, which means that we are working hard to live a life following the Seven Habits:

Be Proactive

Begin with the End in Mind

Put First Things First

Think Win-Win

Seek First to Understand, then be Understood

Synergize

Sharpen the Saw

In order to better live these habits we need to have a shared mission.  During the first week of GT, each grade answered the following questions: What are we here to do? How are we going to accomplish it? Why are we doing this.  The kids added their ideas to a chart on our board with post-it notes.

We then looked for patterns within our answers and used those patterns to create one shared mission.  I think the kids did great.
