So with the absence of Teacher Jen (we sure miss her), we talked about where we stand on our debate prep. A few of you were ready to "fight" it out with your arguments, but a few were still working it out. Hopefully, talking with each other gave you great ideas. Remember to start out by DEFINING!! Hannah, this might help you. Start by coming up with a definition. Then find statistics (and personal stories) to back up what the bill wants to do. I know you can do this!!
We moved on to our lesson delivered by Teacher Genne. It was such a great lesson about embracing our mistakes. She also suggested keeping a mistake journal. What a great idea!! This will help you to 1)realize the world is still spinning despite your mistake(s), 2) help you see that tomorrow is another day, and 3) help you to know that God still loves you despite your mistakes.
A few notes I jotted down were:
-Learn to admit your mistakes (own up to them)
-Forgive yourself for your mistakes past and present
- Be able to handle criticism and work through criticism
As homework this week you are to write three mistakes (or more) in your Leadership Notebook. And then choose one and do a mistake autopsy on it. Also, it would be truly INCREDIBLE if you can go out and meet FIVE people you have never talked to in FILA. It can be mentors, scholars, love of learners and even core kids. Go introduce yourself! They will LOVE it : )!
Now that we have our list of FANCY PARTY requirements(thank you, Genevieve), I KNOW you will be quick to complete your assignments.
Good job on last week's assignment. Keep thinking about your priorities! Have they changed? Make a schedule for the week putting the most critical items at the top. Hopefully, your debate prep and mistake journal will be somewhere near the top!
Great job on your ISIS research. It was awesome to see you research something that interests you. I enjoyed hearing about this AWFUL group! Thank you!!
Finally, don't forget to keep on top of your activity planning. Don't let it get away from you. Paige and John, our FILA Event Coordinator, Becky Owen, will be joining your planning team for the field day.
Haley presents next week!! YAY! I can't wait to hear all about Abigail Adams.
One more thing!! Thank you, David, for showing us your dance videos. Do you guys realize that by just watching the videos and asking David questions, we were well into LEVEL 2 of our leadership steps? We were building our relationships, seeing through other people's eyes, and David was certainly including us in his journey! See how easy leadership development is!!!
See you next Thursday!
