Leaders! Thank you so much in advance for helping lift my Nana's spirits in these trying times. I really appreciate it and I know she will as well. You are true leaders!
1. Make her a card, a poem, a picture, a nice note... sweet and simple :)
2. Be sure to introduce yourself- tell her you are in my leadership class, tell her about you!
3. Would be awesome if you included a photo of you on it to make it personable.
4. Please take a picture of your creation and to google classroom.
5. Then mail it! (address can be found in google classroom.)
6. Remember Anna's good advice: don't lick the envelope, but tape it or sticker it or use water to seal it.
7. Continue to work in your Focus Groups and get Curious!

Happy Tuesday Leaders!
Today we are going to further our thinking and exploration about curiosity!
1. Watch the Ted Talk linked below.
2. Let's put the "human back into technology!"
3. What experiment/s can you conduct at home? What can you break apart/open to learn more about?
4. Tell me and then do it! What do you discover, what questions come up, what do you want to learn more about?
5. Put good thought into this and do so by this Friday. Meaning you have a few days to explore and then tell me all about it.
6. Continue working in Focus Groups and update me on your progress. Only a few people did so today.....

Curiosity-- Wanting to know more
“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” —Albert Einstein
Why does curiosity matter?
When you’re curious about something, you process it deeply, rather than superficially. You also voluntarily spend more time learning about things that spark your curiosity. As a result, you more readily remember what you learn. In general, people who are more curious are happier and better liked.
Pulse Check (TO DO)
1. Reflect on how you’ve engaged with the world this past week. How many of these things are true?
a. I got so absorbed in learning that I lost track of time.
b. I talked to someone who gave me a new idea or changed my mind.
c. I took the initiative to learn more about one of my interests.
d. When I didn’t know the answer to a question, I couldn’t rest until I figured it out.
e. I explored a completely new idea or topic—just for the fun of it.
2. Please elaborate more on the things that were true for you. If none of these were true, what can you do this week to deepen your curiosity and learn more about a topic or idea that is of interest to you.
3. How will curiosity help get this pandemic in control?
4. Lastly, find a curiosity quote you like and share it with me!
