I teach at a preK- 4th grade school. We are high free and reduced lunch.
"If a child cannot learn in the way we teach, we must teach in a way that the child can learn." - (unknown author) This is my motto for my classroom.
This year I have a mixed ability group. I have students who have grasped reading skills at a faster rate than others and some who need a little more time. They are eager to learn. We are also a high diversity of cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
I have students who have access to technology while I have some who do not even have access to a computer. I want to bridge that gap in my room!
My Project
My school is pursuing becoming a Leader in Me School. I need materials to help educate myself in this curriculum. Leader in Me is a whole school transformation process that focuses on teaching students to take charge of their own education and life goals. I need these materials for me to understand how to implement the program so I can help lead these students down this path.
Leader in Me will help my school break a cycle of kids thinking they are not good enough.
This program will help our kids see that they have just as much to offer the world as anyone else.
The materials I am asking for our books about the 7 Habits of Healthy Kids. These 7 habits include being proactive, beginning with the end in mind, putting first things first, thinking win-win, synergizing, seeking first to understand and then to be understood, and sharpening the saw. By helping with the project, you will help me to help my students.
