What is LEAD TIME?

The last three months we have been taking a day to work on developing leadership roles for ALL students. By having Lead Time we are providing time for students to shine as leaders in various roles throughout the building. During this time 3-5 grade students go to work with a "committee" where they are making plans for meeting various needs throughout the building. In grades K-2 we are selecting a focus as a grade level and classes are combining to work on special projects. First grade's focus is "random acts of kindness". In February we created shamrocks to be handed out to random students as they entered the building. Last month students created bookmarks with positive affirmations to be distributed through library books. This month students are creating posters giving ideas of how others can practice random acts of kindness to be hung around the school building.
