 This afternoon, the students and staff of IREC enjoyed an engaging presentation about the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Kids. Steve Harmer has been a magician for 30 years. He came to IREC today to introduce and review the 7 Habits. The students were captivated by his tricks and his message.
Things to remember from the presentation: Habit 1 — Be Proactive - You're in Charge I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking. Habit 2 — Begin with the End in Mind - Have a Plan I plan ahead and set goals. Habit 3 — Put First Things First - Work First, Then Play I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. Habit 4 — Think Win-Win - Everyone Can Win I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want. Habit 5 — Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood - Listen Before You Talk I listen to others without interrupting. I look people in the eyes when talking. Habit 6 — Synergize - Together Is Better I work well in groups/TEAMs. Habit 7 — Sharpen The Saw - Balance Feels Best I take care of my body by eating right, exercising and getting sleep. I spend time with family and friends. The students in 3SB thought: My favorite thing was when he pulled the dove out of the newspaper. (Haylie) I loved the performance. Good Act. (Brooke) I liked the bunny! (Aidan)  We are so excited to start the 2012-2013 school year. We
