Leadership Showcase was AMAZING!!!!

Thank you to Mrs. Campbell for organizing such an AMAZING night for our kids and families. Tonight was our first ever Leadership Showcase to show how our students have grown in their leadership skills in all areas. We had leadership clubs, student leaders at each door greeting families, a photo booth, the computer lab set up, and free drink koozies for everyone with the 7 Habits on it. Below is a picture of the koozie. I forgot to bring all the cameras home tonight to put pictures on the blog but I promise to do that this weekend sometime.

I know we have many new members of our blog. This is a great place for you to comment and let CHES know what you want to see here and what you think about things that are happening at CHES. We really do want to know so we can make our school the best learning environment for our kids and families. So if you are a new member to our blog, please comment below and let us know what you thought about tonight. If you don't know how to comment or can't figure it out, please email Mrs. Cole (diana.cole@daviess.kyschools.us). Your opinion is valuable!!!!!!!!!! What did you like? What should we do differently for next time? Any other ideas or comments???????

Thank you to Terry's Tees for ordering our drink koozies for us.

We really do have the BEST families ever! Thank you for showing up and supporting our kids tonight. Thank you for our staff for helping to make tonight a success as well.

Join us for our FIRST Leadership Day!!!!!

Leadership day is a special opportunity for our school to open our doors to the community to show off the great things that are happening. Through implementing The Leader in Me process we have built a unique environment where the principles, practices, and habits of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People® are embedded into our culture. The Leader in Me process defines our school operations, permeates instructional practice and curriculum, and is the basis of a vibrant leadership development approach for both students and staff. Attend our first annual leadership day to be immersed in our leadership culture with presentations from students, teachers and open-house-like visits to classrooms. You will receive lunch, great ideas, and a USB drive filled with materials to help you teach 7 Habits lessons.

Santa and the Elves Use the 7 Habits - and a Smartboard FREEBIE

Our first grade has been learning how Santa and the Elves use the 7 Habits. They began with an Elf Bubble Map of all the Habits. They brainstormed as a class as to how Santa and the Elves used the 7 Habits. You can see Mrs. Wilson's class's response below. Click HERE to get a blank Smarboard Template of this.

Then first grade used the super cute template from firstgradeblueskies for their elves. They used the rubric below to write about what habit they are good at that would make them a good elf. The kids did a great job!!!!!! And so did the teachers!!!!!! Click the Rubric to get it.
