7 Habits

This week our school embarked on a big journey of introducing our kiddos to The 7 Habits! You may recognize them from the book The 7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey. These are great habits and principles that can used for kids and adults and will only set up our kiddos for lifelong success! I sent home some info about their upcoming lessons so you can discuss with your kiddos what they are learning! Have a great weekend!

Family Photo

I would love to have every student bring a small family photo to display in our classroom.  Feel free to send me one electronically, and I will print it off for you! This will help your kiddo feel more at home, and I know they will be super excited to show off their family.
