Begin With the End in Mind

We do things that

have meaning & make a difference!

Plan, set goals.....it's important for us all.

"Support," that life-changing family affair.

Put First Things First

By making a plan and following

through, success feels mighty sweet.

We sharpened 

estimation skills today!

The Leader in Me:

The Seven Habits of Happy Kids

#1  Be Proactive:  You’re in Charge   “I am a responsible person.  I take initiative.  I choose my actions, attitudes and moods.   I do not blame others for my wrong actions.  I do the right thing without being asked, even if no one is looking.”

#2  Begin with the End in Mind:  Have a Plan   “I plan ahead and set goals.  I do things that have meaning and make a difference.  I am an important part of my classroom and school.”

#3  Put 1st Things 1st:  Work First, Then Play   “I spend my time on things that are most important.  I say no to things I know I should not do.  I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan.”

#4  Think Win-Win:  Everyone Can Win   “I want everyone to be a success.  I don’t have to put others down to get what I want.  When a conflict happens, I look for a third solution.  I believe that we all can win!"

#5  Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood:  

Listen Before You Talk  “I listen to other people’s ideas and feelings.  I try to see things from their viewpoints.  I listen to others without interrupting.  I share my opinion and ideas.”

#6  Synergize:  Together is Better   “I know that everyone is good at something.  Everyone needs to get better at something.  We can all learn something from each other.  Working in groups helps to create better ideas than what person can do alone.”  

#7   Sharpen the Saw:  Balance Feels Best   “I take care of my body by eating right, exercising, and getting sleep.  I learn in lots of ways and in lots of places, not just at school.  I take time to help others.”

We have an amazing

collection of learners and leaders!

Be Proactive

We're responsible
and do the right thing without 

being asked, even when no one is looking. 

Sharpen the Saw

We learn in lots of ways and in 
many places.  This young team has
experience in Pig Wrestling, no less.

Yes, 4-H fun during summer break!

Synergize

This hot, humid weather
 calls for creative action

and cooperation to get some relief.

Lots of happy customers, correct?

Brothers......"together is better!"

Begin With the End in Mind

Oh yes, a blue ribbon effort

and this fourth grader's project is

going onto the Illinois State Fair!

The idea was an entry in 

"Interpretative Photography"

and her model was a helpful little sister.

Well done, congratulations!
