Leadership & my Classroom

I love my classroom! Yeah, of course there are things that I would change about it, but it is such a fun place to spend my day! I wanted to take a break from food for a moment to share some views from my room…

My Door…
Mission Statement & Other things to Inspire
close-up of my Personal Mission Statement
(a Dr. Seuss quote)

We are a Leader in Me School which means we teach out students about the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Steven Covey. By teaching Leadership we are teaching our kids how to be the most effective people that they can be.

I made these on Monday, photographed a few early so I could post it – and that is where the dedication to this holiday ran out! My M.O.H. and I went Bridesmaid Dress shopping (found one great option). When I got home it was time to finish dinner prep for my parents to come over to celebrate Pierogi Day with us. Earlier in the day, I could not get my main bedroom light to go on (and tried to reset the breaker tons of time). When the men in my life (daddy & Rich) got home I mentioned the light issue to them… 3 hours later we finally sat down to dinner AND lights still out upstairs (yes, still waiting on an electrician to come solve problems).

… So yes, I am making excuses – but that is my reason for not posting these in time for you to celebrate 🙁
