"Hi all I have taken Angela's class for two years. I started to implement the Habitudes last year incorporating it with Wee Can Write. It covers the Six Traits and it has been very good. I was excited to see this group."

Stephany Messer replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Reflection (7/24/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"I'm finally finished! I am so thankful that this is something we can integrate without starting something new. We are already incorporating many of the habitudes in our daily activities. This will just be a shift in my thinking to add new…"
Stephany Messer replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 5 & 6 (7/17/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Habitude #6 Adaptability
Change is hard for almost everybody no matter how old you are. It requires a lot of time, effort, and uncomfortable moments. I can be flexible but for the most part I thrive on my schedule. At school I love to take on…"
Stephany Messer replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 5 & 6 (7/17/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Habitude #5 Courage
Courage should be something the kids can connect to fairly easily. In Angela's porch pitch she says, "They just need to be willing to do the work necessary to reach their potential." (pg. 80) I think that is huge…"
Stephany Messer replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 3 & 4 (7/10/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Habitude #4 Self Awareness
This is a tricky one! One phrase that I thought would be easy to use to help explain this is our built in check-and-balance system. A few of the qualities a self aware learner should possess are ability to recognize…"
Amy Jo Manning replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 1 &2 (7/3/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Wednesday sounds perfect to me! I have Thurs and Fri open as well just in case..."
Stephany Messer replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 1 &2 (7/3/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Do you girls want to come over here again on Wednesday afternoon (7/29)? 1 or 1:30? That way we can work during nap time. I say the sooner the better! I can do Thursday or Friday afternoon as well. So if Wednesday doesn't work I'm flexible!"
Stephany Messer replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 3 & 4 (7/10/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Habitude 3: Perseverance
I think this is a tricky one too. There are several good points but it seems like it would be a stretch to make the lessons fit our level. The book lists are good and fitting it in with stamina during Daily 5 sounds like…"
Amy Jo Manning replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 5 & 6 (7/17/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Habitude #6: Adaptability
Before I started reading I was thinking about our age group. They thrive on routine and knowing their schedule. However, in the same respect, most of them are completely flexible and resilient (sp?) as well! I like to…"
Amy Jo Manning replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 1 &2 (7/3/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"I know I will be talking to you but should we look at a time to get together the last week to upload on to the wiki and get the schedule for habitudes set? We can also "beef" up the first and second month's lessons for us to have…"
Stephany Messer replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 3 & 4 (7/10/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"I can't keep up...I'm so sorry girls! I will get going with you."
Amy Jo Manning replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 5 & 6 (7/17/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Habitude #5: Courage
The thing that stood out the most to me in this chapter was: "Be willing to be uncomfortable. Be comfortable being uncomfortable..." I think this year will be a full year of uncomfortableness!! I am feeling all kinds…"
Stephany Messer replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 1 &2 (7/3/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Yes, I need a schedule too. Especially the first year or I won't accomplish anything. I like the idea of throwing one in each month. Then we can spread it out over time and hopefully be able to make deeper connections that way. We can probably…"
Amy Jo Manning replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 3 & 4 (7/10/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Habitude 4: Self-Awareness
As I have started this chapter my thoughts have been all over the board! At first, I thought- maybe this habitude should be the first one taught. I liked the analogy that everyone's fingerprints are different and so…"
Amy Jo Manning replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 3 & 4 (7/10/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Habitude #3- Perseverance
When I started reading this chapter I immediately thought of "building stamina". I was relieved to know we are already doing some of these things so going deeper with perseverance should be easily intertwined.
I…"
Amy Jo Manning replied to Amy Jo Manning's discussion Chapters 1 &2 (7/3/09) in the group Classroom Habitudes Book Study"Curiosity:
I agree Kara! I think questioning is hard for our age group. For one, we have to teach them the difference b/w a question and a telling sentence. That is hard to do when they want to share so many stories! Even though they are so…"
