My first graders are amazing little people. They are amazed by how much they have learned in these first four weeks of school and seeing their big smiles with how proud they make themselves makes teaching them everything it's meant to be and so much more. They are responsible, self-checkers, helpful, and take pride in being kind. Our school is a Leader In Me school. Each student in our school is a leader and there are various leadership jobs inside and outside the classroom. By learning the seven habits, the students have learned to be proactive, set goals, and work together. Within my classroom, I have watched first graders talk through problems without any prompting from me. I have watched my entire class take on a Kindness Challenge that I presented to them to make sure that every child at recess had a friend to play with. I have witnessed a student saying to another student, "Thank you for filling my bucket today." The Leader In Me program has had a great impact on our students!
