The Leader in Me



We have spent a lot of time discussing teamwork, being proactive verses reactive, and building our classroom community. How do you think you fit into our classroom community? Are you a possitive, supportive member of the group? Do you encourage others? Are you as willing to give help as you are to ask for it? What kind of leader are you learning to be?

Trapped Miners


WOW!! I can't begin to imagine what these miners are going through at this moment. These miners have been without their families for 70 days. They were stuck under ground about 1/2 mile after a tunnel collapsed, and had to eat only two teaspoons of tuna fish, a sip of milk with a half of a biscuit each every 48 hours. They are probably filled with joy and excitement as they reach ground one at a time. Waiting above ground are their families members to greet them with hugs. They did not know if they would ever see their love ones again. If you could talk to these miners, what are some questions that you would ask them about their adventure.

The Seven Habits of Happy Kids

Has it changed how you think about yourself or how you treat others? Have the habits made a difference in your school or home life? Please explain your answer.
