McEvoy Students/Teachers Learn “Happy” Habits and Support OCM BOCES’ Literacy Initiatives

Students in Mrs. Breneman’s and Mrs. Comolli’s classroom began the year reading The Seven Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey. This book ties into the Social-Emotional Learning component of their program. As the class read the book they created their classroom tree to illustrate the habits. The seven habits are:
Habit 1– be proactive, you are in charge (of making your own decisions, fun, choices, etc.)
Habit 2 – have a plan
Habit 3 – work first, then play
Habit 4 – everyone can win
Habit 5 – listen before you talk
Habit 6 – together is better
Habit 7 – balance feels best

Mrs. Breneman’s and Mrs. Comolli’s classes are supporting the BOCES literacy initiatives through their work with the Natalie Babbit’s novel, Tuck Everlasting. Students have been immersed in reading, discussions, and journaling each day.
