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.
