Taking Charge with Annie's Plan


Seventh Age students will be creating their own "plans" for taking charge of both work at school and at home.  7-2 got their plans started today; I read the book, Annie's Plan, by Jeanne Kraus and the boys listened to Annie's story.  She is a smart girl with a lot of energy but isn't always the most organized!  With help from her teacher, guidance counselor, and parents she comes up with a plan to help her be organized, be responsible, and be self-motivated.  When the story ended, the boys had a few minutes to consider their own plans and what they might want to work on.  Many want to keep their desk's cleaner and others talked about having an improved work area at home.  It is important to note that these skills develop over the years, and with collaboration between home and school a solid foundation is set and the students learn to be proud of this process.
