I hope you had an excellent weekend and are well rested for the week ahead. Please check out the notes below on the week ahead, including the launch of Mindfulness Mondays. Mrs. Fry will be providing a short piece for you to share with your 2nd hour class each Monday. There is a lot of research that supports work in the area of Mindfulness for everyone. Please make sure to include this in your day.
Monday:
Welcome to our first Mindfulness Monday! This is a great way for us to teach our kids, and ourselves, different ways to become more focused and to de-stress throughout the school day! You will receive either a video or strategy every Monday for your 2nd hour.
Since it is our first Mindfulness Monday, here is a short video (of our kids!) explaining what mindfulness is. You will also receive a reference sheet about mindfulness in your mailboxes on Monday. Thanks to Ms. Knick and her class for putting together the video for us this week!
* Happy Birthday, Kim Sisk! Tuesday:
No School for the elections. VOTE!!
Happy Birthday, Sam Breen!
Wednesday:
Student Council Meeting after school in LPHS Media Center
Finally, Mrs. Jasso had all of us write down our Why as the school year began. They are awesome to read still and the memory of that Why is incredibly important for us to revisit. Mr. Dmitruchina shared this video with me at the beginning of the year and I thought now was as good of a time as ever to share it. As we've all shared, this job is brutally hard but also incredibly worth doing. That initial Why has to be really strong to withstand some of the figurative punches we take. We know that if we are in it for the right reasons, it is.
Have a great week!
