Our+Weekly+Leader+(O.W.L.)

**O.W.L.** **Our Weekly Leader** Each week, celebrate on camper who has exhibited leadership both inside and outside of the classroom. This is a special time for each child as we celebrate their leadership. Each weekly leader will get to take home the O.W.L. bad for the week. They can use the bag to transport some of the items below.
 * Recognizing Leadership…**

Here are the activities each O.W.L. will be completing and adding to our leadership wall!

 **1.** **Monday**- Your child should complete the “All About Me” poster by filling in all of the things that make them the special person they are. We will hang this up for everyone to admire during the week in our hallway.  **2.** **Tuesday**- Have your child create a poster or use a piece of paper to draw and write about someone who they think is a great leader and why they think this person is such a great leader. This could be someone they know or someone famous or even someone they have learned about in school. It could even be a character in a book. We will also display this. Feel free to use the fabric paints inside!  **3.** **Wednesday**- Color and design your owl anyway you would like. Have your child write their goals for their school year. These goals can be personal, academic, or anything inside or outside of school. Talk with your child about what steps they can take to meet these goals.**Please return these goals and your owl so that we can place these in your Leadership Notebook and track your progress.**  **4.** **Thursday**- Please choose one of the 7 habits to teach our class on Friday before you pass on the bag to the next leader. You can create a poster, act out a skit, or even share a story and/or pictures of you using one of the 7 habits. Be creative! J   **5.** **Friday**- Write a letter or note to your child about why they are such a great leader and why you are proud of them each and every day. Your child will be able to keep this letter in their chair packs or crayon box to look at when they are at school and need that extra special “boost” from you, their hero, even when you’re not there!  <span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">**6.** <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Any day of the week –**Take Mr. Owl with you and your family on an outing, or something your family does that is special.
