Monthly focus:  Be Proactive
Last week I shared a reactive vs. proactive language table (see below).  On this short week, I would like to pose a challenge. Try to find a way to integrate proactive vs. reactive mini-lesson in your day.  You can use with social issues (the child lists the reactive choices and then chooses a proactive response) or in academic areas (proactive choices our forefathers used when making the journey to the US).  Share an example in your newsletter or through DoJo to teach our broader Bullock community.  Happy habit living.  #ichoosejoy
