The teachers and students cannot believe how fast our time together is passing by, it's already week THREE!! We are gearing up for our field trip to the ropes course next week, and the students are really excited about the challenge. In STAR LEADERSHIP we are focusing on goal setting, habits, trust, and personal discovery. During these classes, your children are discovering that the choices and paths they choose today help shape the people they will become in the future.
One activity our students have been practicing is Event, Response, Outcome. As a group, students list different events that take place at school, at home, etc... Events are things you do not have control over, for example: teacher assigns homework. Then for each event, the group brainstorms possible responses to the event. For each response the students project the outcome. The discussion during this activity has been very meaningful. Students understand that they cannot control and event, but they are in control of their response, and it is the response to an event that determines the outcome.
Up next in STAR LEADERSHIP, students will be developing a personal mission statement. Your children have been asked to make a list of short term goals and long term goals. We hope you talk to your students about their goal for the future, where they see themselves in 5 or 10 years. We are looking forward to hearing back from students about where they see themselves in the future.
