Animotos for 7 Habits of a Happy Kid

Classroom Potential Uses
I plan on using this particular Animoto presentation to help
my students understand the 7 habits of an Effective Person. My district focuses
on a character trait a month that is the 7 habits, just reworded. A lot of
times, the students do not understand what the traits or the habits. This may
help students realize the importance of empowering each other to be leaders in
their schools and communities. I plan to
incorporate The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, a book written by Stephen
Covey that teaches people the necessary skills they need in this 21st century
to live happy, healthy, and fulfilled lives as responsible, productive
citizens. These habits are universal and
are effective for all people to learn, but there is a "kid" version
called the "7 Habits of Happy Kids," which is geared to the habits
specifically for children. I have learned to appreciate the philosophy of the 7
Habits myself. They make so much sense
and the students in my class NEED to be taught these things desperately. Character education and general life skills
are so often not taught at home, so I’m trying to fill in those gaps at school,
and these 7 Habits do a fabulous job of just that. I have a huge heart for teaching my students
skills like patience, perseverance, responsibility, courage, and
integrity. They need to hear words like
these and learn how to internalize what it means to exhibit these qualities in
their everyday lives. The 7 Habits help
me to teach these skills.
