Planning for Wednesday

Today I am deciding what we will do on Wednesday.

I am making power points for our video production tomorrow with Cloe and I just made one about the power of knowing your strengths and areas for growth.

The boys have just identified their strengths so I would like to start out with that in mind. I am going to make a jar with questions in it about strengths in daily life. We are all going to answer questions while having our snack.

• What is something you’ve done recently that made you feel proud?

• When do you feel most confident?

• What’s one thing you do that feels easy for you but hard for others?

• Share a time when you helped someone and it made a difference.

• What’s an activity that makes you lose track of time because you enjoy it so much?

• When friends or family ask for help, what do they usually come to you for?

• What is one challenge you faced that showed your perseverance?

• What’s something you’ve learned quickly or taught yourself how to do?

• When have you felt “in the zone” and fully engaged in what you were doing?

• What is something others often thank you for?

• What is a compliment you’ve received that really stuck with you?

• When was the last time you showed courage, even in a small way?

• What kind of problems do you enjoy solving?

• What is one thing you do that makes people laugh or smile?

• When do you feel like a leader?

• What’s something creative you’ve done that made you feel good?

• What personal quality do you think your friends value most in you?

• What’s one way you’ve made your school or community better?

• What kind of group projects or roles do you enjoy most?

• When do you feel the most energized?

• What’s one habit or skill you’ve developed through practice?

• Share a time when you showed kindness without being asked.

• What’s one risk you took that paid off?

• What’s something you’ve accomplished that others might not know about?

• When do you feel the most curious or eager to learn?

Then we can connect our answer to our VIA strengthfinder test by connecting our answer to the strengths on our test.

Alex will come over to discuss opportunities at ACCAI

Then we will do the opportunity cost lesson. 🙂

And then we will wrap up the day by talking about decision making – using our knowledge of our strengths and assigning the homework of filling out the opportunity cost worksheet for 5 days after school.
