Leader In Me Moment:

Monday: Habit 3: Put First Things First—with a focus on Big Rocks. - Think of Big Rocks as the most important things. For today’s mission moment, let’s ask ourselves, “What are our biggest rocks?”

Tuesday: Remember Big Rocks? They’re our top priorities. Let’s not confuse them with our little rocks. - For today’s mission moment, let’s ask ourselves, “What are some examples of little rocks?” Wednesday: Our school day is scheduled around our Big Rocks for learning. - For today’s mission moment, let’s ask ourselves, “What are some of the Big Rocks on your daily schedule today and the rest of the week?”

Thursday: We can also think of our WIGs as Big Rocks. - For today’s mission moment, let’s ask ourselves, “How are we doing with staying focused on our WIGs?”

Friday: Staying focused on the things that are most important to us takes planning. - For today’s mission moment, let’s think about some of our Big Rocks for next week.
