At our school they are really using the seven habits of highly effective kids...The whole third grade program was based around these habits. Taryn's favorite habit to quote at me all year was "first seek to understand then be understood [mom]!" Generally she spouted this to me as I was dishing out a punishment without finding out WHY she was being naughty...The phrase kind of became a bad word to me....
But other than that her favorite habit was "think win win"...And I actually do like this one because who doesn't like winning? So her program was a win win-the kids did great showcasing their learning and we did great watching...
Taryn was also able to receive her year long radiant roadrunner award for doing all she was supposed to and more (science fair, awesome attendance, extra projects, good behavior, etc)...Anyway she is motivated by rewards so I am thankful they offer this one and she really did work like a crazy lady all year and learned a lot.

Taryn and Miss Allan who was a rock star for being a first year teacher! Taryn had such a great time and Miss Allan was so organized. It was a great year!
