The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Habit 1-Be Proactive First I think then I make a choice. Everything I do is a choice.
Habit 2-Begin with the end in mind I think about what I want, then I do what will make it happen.
Habit 3-Put First Things First I only THINK and DO what is most important.
Habit 4-Think Win-Win We think of a solution where no one gives up anything and everyone wins.
Habit 5-Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood First, I listen to others so that I may understand them. Then, I repeat their thoughts back.
Habit 6-Synergize Because we have different strengths, we can work together to create a better idea than we could alone.
Habit 7-Sharpen the Saw I will take care of my body and brain, make deposits in emotional bank accounts and do what I know is right.
Essential 10 1. When responding to any adult, you must answer by saying, Yes ma am, Yes sir, No ma am, or No sir. 2. If anyone is bullying you, let a teacher know. We are not going to let anyone in this school bully you or make you feel uncomfortable. 3. Make eye contact. When someone is speaking to you, keep your eyes on him or her at all times. 4. During an assembly, do not speak or look around and try to call out to friends. We must uphold an image that shows we have our act together. 5. When in a line face forward at all times and walk single file. Maintain one foot between you and the person in front of you. Your arms should be behind your back if your hands are empty OR your hands in front of you on your materials. There will be absolutely no talking.
6. When a substitute teacher is present, you will obey all the same rules that you follow when I am with you. (I know this is hard, but it is important.) 7. It is important to be responsible and clean up after yourself to be sure not to litter. After dining in the cafeteria, clean off the table and make sure you have not left any trash on the floor or around the eating area. 8. Accept that you are going to make mistakes. Learn from them and move on. 9. No matter the circumstances, always BE HONEST. Even if you have done something wrong, it is best to admit it and apologize. 10. BE THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE.
