Module 5: Lead the Way
HELLO, FAMILY!
Over the next three weeks, our
class will be learning about the qualities that good leaders have. We will read
about famous leaders in history, children who are leaders in their community,
and opinions about what it takes to be a great leader. Children will also write
a personal essay about what makes them unique.
BRING IT HOME! Learning fun for the whole family!
Big Idea Words. Reinforce
these important topic words when you are reading or talking with your child: admire,
