Our kiddos are really struggling this year with Time Management! I have done this lesson for several years, but today, I decided to add a Leadership Tool from the Leader in Me, and it's made all the difference. What I did was I provided the students a list of activities to do and they had to put them into the Time Matrix. The one I created looks a little different than what Franklin Covey suggests, because it is in kid-friendly language. Another new spin I put on this lesson was I added Julia Cook's book "Planning isn't my Priority and Making Priorities isn't in My Plan!" The kids love it!!! It helped me introduce the word Priority and really got the conversation started about how to begin setting them.
I like using this video to discuss issues with social isolation, and since it's Dr. Seuss' Birthday, I felt it only appropriate. Guiding Questions: What are the guiding questions for this lesson? Have you ever been "left out"? How did it feel? Why do people sometimes exclude others? How did the Sneetches change from the beginning of the story to the end? Why did the author probably write this text? Is there a lesson we can learn from it? What is the difference between Sneetches with stars and those without? **adapted from CPalms
