October Habit of the Month Picture Challenge:  Begin With The End In Mind

For the month of October our Habit of the Month is to “Begin With The End In Mind.”  Students that follow this habit plan ahead and set goals. These students engage in things that have meaning and make a difference. These students are an important part of their classroom and family unit.  They contribute in purposeful ways and look for ways to be a good citizen. 

This month, try to catch your student “Beginning With The End In Mind.”  Students might be setting a goal and taking steps to try to reach it.  They may be making a plan for getting an assignment completed or a plan on how they will learn something new.  Talk about this habit with your student and see if  you can see them putting it in to action.  Please email any pictures or “shout outs” to Mrs. Spencer (Nickie.spencer@bullitt.kyschools.us) so we can celebrate our students that are Beginning With The End In Mind outside of their school environment!
