Leaders All Around

We have talked often about your role as a 4th grade leader and what character traits leaders possess. In our latest reading unit, Leaders: Real and Imagined we are learning about unlikely leaders and ways they use a situation to lead by example and rise above conflict. Today, we discovered how Ruby Bridges, at age 6, became a leader.

Who do you look up to as a leader? Why do you think this person is a leader? What leadership traits does he/she display? View our Characteristics of a Leader chart to help you think about this.

Remember, there are unlikely leaders all around us...even YOU!

I love to run and they inspire me so much by doing things the best they can do! I am also reading a book called: How to Steel a Dog. It is a great book so far!

She comes up with a plan to steel a dog for ransom. She has to be persistent until she finds the perfect dog. She is also: Optimistic, flexible, resilient, Brave, and takes action. she has a little brother Toby who looks up to her. She really just goes for it and tries!

  16. I look up to my tio Scotty because he is really fun and he is flexible a lot because he has two little babys so a lot of times he can't do what he wants but he always makes time for us. I think he is kind because he lets me come over and help with his babys even though O dont think he trust me alone he still gives me a chance. somehow he can always cheer people up because he is optimistic. I love him most becuase he is a leader to everyone not just me.😊
