Week of August 18

This week we delved into the "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" book by Sean Covey. For those of you familiar with Steven Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People," this book mirrors that book but is written by Mr. Covey's son, Sean, who writes on a level the students can more easily understand. This is an excellent book which will challenge your child to begin to apply 7 new habits into his/her life.

Unfortunately, the students are unable to bring this book home to study since I need the books for each of my five classes. However, if you would like to purchase this book (this is NOT a requirement) for your child (and you!) to read at home you can go to your local bookstore or go to the Franklin Covey website (www.franklincovey.com) to place an order. The retail price is $14.95.

Parents, I would encourage you to ask your child about what they are learning in my class. One of their goals in this class is to LEARN IT (in class), LIVE IT (throughout the day), and SHARE IT (with you, their friends, anyone who'll listen!). In this way, the material they learn in this course will be reinforced by their actions with the end result being the development of new, positive and effective life-long habits.

Thank you for entrusting your child to me. I am thrilled to be teaching this course and hopefully making a positive difference in your child's life.

Welcome to My Class!

Enter the world of 7 Habits....

Today you will begin with the end in mind. Exit bad habits; enter new and better habits. Open your mind to new possibilities, new opportunities, new adventures. Let the fun begin!
