Let Summer Begin

Testing is behind me and my 5th graders have officially graduated! Yes, it's the last day of school. This is a picture of my daughter. She is in 3rd grade and...oh wait she's officially in 4th grade. I think I may get weepy!!!  Anyway, this summer will hold lots of great things for us and I hope to add more helpful things to the blog.  Next year will be a big year for us as we hit the final stretch toward Lighthouse Status.  My goal is to give you an inside peek into what that looks like, so that when you reach that point, you will be more than ready!  So check back often!  Follow me! You will get instant updates when I add a new post! Have a safe and fun summer!

7 Habits Bingo

This is a fun game we play in Guidance to review the 7 Habits. I made up scenarios to go along with each habit, read the scenario and the children have to guess which habit it is.
