7 Habits Board Games

I love it when I can show my students how to apply the seven habits in the real world. This activity does just that! I have the kids work together in groups to create a 7 Habits Board game that I will later use with my younger students. I typically have grades 3-5 do this activity, as I have found 2nd grade and below are just not quite ready. In this activity, the students actually have to practice using the habits to finish the project. You'll see from planning worksheet that the students have to Begin with the End in Mind, and Synergize to solve the problems that may arise. As I see students having trouble, I use this time to help them solve the conflicts using Seek First to Understand and Win-Win. Allowing the studnets this time to actually practice be a team player, is vital to their growth as Leaders.

Ga Ga over Google!

I knew that Google was amazing, but this year, I am learning even more amazing things that Google can do, and how to incorporate into my Counseling Program. For starters, I have upgraded my School Counselor Request form and learned how to make it two or three forms in one. I plan on doing a screencastify tutorial very soon! This has been a game changer. Now, students, teachers, and parents need only find one link in order to communicate their needs to me. Next on my Google adventures is how I've been able to use Google Sites to develop Leadership Notebooks for all students in Grades 3-5. Students are loving being able to add their data into this digital notebook, and I am certain this will be big selling point for parents when Student Led Conferences begin next month. I helped all the students set up their site in Guidance this week, and they have each shared them with me. This is allowing me to see right away how they are doing in their ...
