Dear Parents and Guardians,

During the month of May Our Lady of The Rosary students will be learning about Habit 7:
Sharpen the Saw.
The story is that a man was sawing down a tree and not making much progress. When asked why
he didnt stop to sharpen the saw, he answered that he was too busy sawing.
Habit 7 reminds us that we are more productive when we are in balance; body, brain, heart, and
soul. If one area is being ignored or overused, the rest will feel the results. A good analogy for
children is a car needing all four tires; as leaders of themselves, they need to take care of all
four parts of themselves.
Expect your child to use words and phrases like Sharpen the Saw, 4 parts of myself; body, mind,
heart, and soul, its like 4 tires of a car, taking care of myself, and balance. You can encourage
your child by using some of these words at home. You may have an opportunity to share your
feelings with your child about Sharpen the Saw.
Check out www.TheLeaderInMe.org. Here you will find activities for your child in the The
Student Schoolyard. In The Parents Place you will find fun ways to involve the entire family
in Habit 7!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Tracy Trieber
