We graded last week's bell ringer assignment during class so that each student was able to actively participate in an exercise to help them understand the habits that they should have already developed by now regarding the weekly bell ringer activity.
We also had a class discussion about the principles assignment that my substitute gave them on Friday. If they did not finish this work, they were asked to make sure their Principles 4-square activity was completed by Tuesday (see below).
On Tuesday - Friday of this week, the students will be learning about The Private Victory.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the students learned about their PBA (Personal Bank Account) which is "how you feel about yourself" or the amount of trust and confidence you have in yourself.
To help them understand how their PBA can increase and decrease, the students filled in a check register with examples of 5 PBA deposits and 5 PBA withdrawals. This assignment was DUE on THURSDAY.
During class on Thursday we brainstormed about how to make some REAL PBA DEPOSITS over the next few days in our bell ringer assignment. Expanding on this concept, the students were given an additional assignment to COMPLETE the PBA Worksheet by filling in the 3rd check register with 5 real-life PBA deposits that they must make over the next 4 days. This assignment is due NEXT MONDAY, September 17.
Also on Thursday of this week, we began our study of HABIT #1: BE PROACTIVE. We will continue our study of Habit #1 on Friday as well.
Bell Ringers this week:
Monday: Describe your "paradigm" of last Friday's class. Include the names of specific students in your description if necessary,
Tuesday: What is one new habit that you have chosen to make that will help you live by your chosen principle (as written on your Principles 4-square activity)?
Wednesday: How can you make a deposit into your PBA?
Thursday: Make a list of five PBA deposits that you can make between now and Monday.
Friday: Describe what it means to be proactive.
