When: Tuesday, March 3rd | 12[m-1pm
Where: Theater
The Best Part: A light lunch will be provided for all attendees!

How to Join Us

To ensure we have enough lunch and materials for everyone, please RSVP to Mrs. Katye Wilkinson at kwilkinson@lexrich5.org no later than Thursday, February 26th.

We can't wait to see you there and grow our "math minds" together!

Habit 6 - Synergize. Together is better.

Synergy is valuing differences and then working together to create a better solution than what anyone could do alone. When we focus on each other's strengths and begin working or playing as a team, we can be unstoppable.

Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much!”.

What can you do to teach your child to Synergize at home?

1. Talk about three things you are really good at. Then, compliment someone else on something they are good at doing.

2. Watch your favorite sports team play a game. Pay extra attention to how all the players work together as a team.

3. Talk about what makes a bad team member and what makes a good team member.

4. Call two friends and play a board game or a basketball game together.

Students in Mrs. Martin's class were synergizing during our game in PE game. They worked together to achieve a common goal and succeed together as a group.
