7 Habits + The Cup Song + Oak Hill Staff = Funny Stuff!!!!

Our staff members are in the middle of our Leader in Me training, as we completed the first day on Thursday.  Days two and three will take place next week.  I am absolutely LOVING it!!!!!!!  I love learning new ways to empower our kiddos!  I have been so disheartened with our current climate of test - test - test - and test some more!  Ugh!  I'm so thankful that we are being encouraged to "educate the whole child," and help each one of them find their gifts!  Great stuff!  Not once did our facilitator ask us to analyze any data or complete any graphs and charts!  Yeah!  That's definitely a win-win!

We've been brainstorming the best ways to start our new year with our Wildcats while teaching them about the 7 Habits.  There are some verrrrrrrrry creative teachers in my building!  Love it!! Let's hear it for the right-brainers!  Here's what we have come up with so far...
Our school community will begin each day in the gym with a morning meeting.  This morning meeting will be led by our students!  Cool, huh?
  

All of our staff members are going to attempt - yes, attempt - to "perform" The Cup Song (Leader in Me version!) for our first morning meeting on Wednesday.  (It's okay if you're laughing!  I understand!)

It should be a lot of fun, indeed!
Think we can do it?  It will be a blast trying!




One of my projects today was to finish a bulletin board outside my classroom.  I have most of it done.  I combined two things I love - Duck Dynasty and The 7 Habits!

Here's the finished product:
"The 7 Habits make us "Happy Happy Happy!"  I know what you're wondering - yes, I added "Jack" after each of the habits!

I'm thinking I may have used a little too much duct tape...
