This week our 2nd graders talked about what it means to prioritize our tasks. We focused on Habit 3 — Put First Things First Work First, Then Play. This habit is defined as follows--
"I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organized."
We emphasized that play and extracurricular activities are very important, but we must make sure that we are meeting our responsibilities at school. Sometimes this may mean disciplining ourselves to do the things we may not be quite as excited about first.
