This will be a special and memorable week for your child. He/she will have many positive experiences that will help build self-esteem, confidence and leadership skills.
Monday-Bring your timeline about your life.
Help your child to make a timeline that features pictures or photos that are special to your child. Have your child bring it to school on Monday. Please include captions written by mom or dad to help me prompt your child to tell about the pictures. Please complete and send the attached interview form. The poster paper will be provided two weeks before your child’s turn. If you need it earlier, please email me. You will receive three 12”x18” sheets to tape together to create a timeline of your child’s life. Please feel free to be creative with your timeline. Photos can be above the date line or below or both. This is just an idea to get you started!

I Am A Leader
I am a leader!
I am a leader!
There's a leader in me.
I know the Seven Habits.
I'm the best me, I can be.
I'm proactive, show control.
I begin with the end in mind.
First things first,
I think win-win.
Seek first to understand
Then, to be understood.
To synergize is good.
I sharpen the saw.
Use the habits every day.
I am a leader!
I am a leader!
There's a leader in me.
I know the Seven Habits.
I'm the best me, I can be.
