Thursday, September 22 -- Week 4 TRADITIONAL CALENDAR

Shout out to Kaycie for communicating with me when she had a question!  

  

Week 4 continues and is due by Monday.  If you did not see Tuesday's Daily Announcement, go back and read it -- Tuesday announcements include explanations of the week's assignments and will guide you to posting quality work.

Happy Windshield Check Day!  Text me, email me, or message me your evaluation of this week so far:)

Ready, learn, lead!

You will spend a great deal of time (ha!) this week exploring time wasters and learning tools to improve your time management.   Successful people manage their time well.  Take Maxwell's advice -- stay productive and successful by NOT doing the following things:

1. Don't get sucked into social media.
2. Don't go through the day without a plan.
3. Don't do emotionally draining activities.
4. Don't worry about things you cannot control.
5. Don't hang out with negative people.
6. Don't dwell on past mistakes.
7. Don't focus on what other people are doing.
8. Don't put yourself last in priority.

Before posting any of your assignments, ask yourself the following questions:

a. Did I follow all instructions?
b. Did I completely answer the questions?
c. Do I clearly reflect that I understand and am thinking about the topic?  Did I use any weekly vocab?
d. Do I clearly reflect that I am applying the topic to my life--asking questions, giving examples, etc.?
