Monthly focus: Begin with the end in mind
We have not pushed accountability partners this year, but having an accountability partner keeps you on track and restores your soul. I meet with my wonderful accountability partners (Ms. Cole and Ms. Rose) every Tuesday because that works for us. I would suggest you find someone you connect with each week to talk about your life, your goals and how you can support one another.

The habit focus in December is "begin with the end in mind." Last week, I challenged you to examine how your paradigms drive your behavior. I hope that you will share those reflections with a colleague, friend or accountability partner. To "Begin with the End in Mind" means to begin each day, task, or project with a clear vision of your desired direction and destination, and then continue by flexing your proactive muscles to make things happen. That direction is your mission. Our school stays focused on our mission every day through every element of operation. Your class should also have a mission. I would encourage all of you to also have a personal mission to keep you connected and on track with your goals. Take some time this week to draft or reconnect with your mission.

A couple reminders...
A couple reminders...
- Please do not have students copy down vocabulary words in any subject. It is a waste of time and does not impact retention. The Wonders program has provided resources for a quick 10 minute frontload of the vocab.
- Students must use calculators every day. I need to see the calculators out and in use.
