This Unit: Starting today, November 30th, students will be going through & completing assignments in the book “7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens” by Sean Covey in Humanities class. This is an interactive book, so we HIGHLY RECOMMEND students purchase their own book, so they can write in it (ebooks are OK too).
Please make sure you purchase the correct book (here is an example: https://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-Teens/dp/1476764662/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/132-2159679-8020914?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1476764662&pd_rd_r=c0d6b5c1-3a9a-491c-abf6-d6e1570bcca7&pd_rd_w=caQWE&pd_rd_wg=zJ7g7&pf_rd_p=ce6c479b-ef53-49a6-845b-bbbf35c28dd3&pf_rd_r=5AATNW5VG8QSPQ07C925&psc=1&refRID=5AATNW5VG8QSPQ07C925).
If you cannot purchase a book, we have books that we can loan out, but students are not allowed to write in them. Please let us know, and we will set aside a book for you, which you can pick up from the multi-use room
