We officially kicked off One Book One School, and there’s nothing better than seeing our ELMS Falcons—students AND staff—reading together! From classrooms to hallways, everyone is getting lost in the pages of the same story.

There’s something pretty special about an entire school community sharing a book, making predictions, talking about characters, and wondering what will happen next. Let the reading adventure begin!

ELMS Falcons are soaring through the Leader in Me Habits! This week, students have explored the first five habits: Be Proactive, Begin With the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win-Win, and Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood.

For today’s Habit 5 lesson, students played the game Telephone to experience firsthand why listening carefully and making sure we understand others is so important. The game demonstrated what can happen when we don’t listen closely, make assumptions, or respond before we fully understand what someone is saying.

Students had a great time with the activity—and they quickly discovered that a message can change completely when we aren’t listening carefully! It was a fun and memorable way to see why seeking first to understand is an important leadership skill both in school and in everyday life.

Be sure to ask your child about the Leader in Me Habits they learned this week!
