Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

The State House

On Friday, our class got to go on our first field trip of the year. We had so much fun though we thought the weather was going to be bad. It did hold off and starting raining as we returned to school. Here are a few pictures of us on our fun adventure!

A Special Thank You

Mrs. Holliman's students appreciate our soldiers and heros for what they are doing and have done for our country.

Conference Day and Leadership Day

Our students have been working hard over the past few week to prepare for student led conferences and Leadership Day. One thing they have working hard on, is their Leadership Notebook. Each student has a notebook with certain tab. Their tabs include: Mission Statement (each student writes their own statement using goals they have for life), Goals tab (they write a goal for a habit they need to work on, an academic and a personal goal), Data tab (the keep record of their scores for test and report cards), Leadership tab (they record how they are leaders in the classroom, community, and at home), and finally a Celebrations tab(this is where they keep their awards and certificates). Each student presents their notebook to their parents and discuss it with their parents during conferences. Students are also picked to present their notebooks to visitors from all over the state during Leadership day. Make sure to visit our classroom to see our Leadership notebooks.

7 Habits

We are in the process of reviewing our 7 Habits. Please review over these with your child at home and ask them how they were a leader during the school day.

Habit 1: Be Proactive: You're in Charge
Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind: Have a Plan
Habit 3: Put First Things First: Work First, Then Play
Habit 4: Think Win-Win: Everyone Can Win
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood: Listen Before you Talk
Habit 6: Synergize: Together is Better
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw: Balance Feels Best
