Mindfulness

Welcome back to school -
We had a look at the number 2020 this morning and noticed many interesting things.  The number is even.  It has 4 digits.  This is a leap year.  We have entered a new decade.  We then practised our addition and subtraction with a picture game using the number 2020 and our own birth years.

We reviewed classroom expectations by making an anchor chart of My job/Your job.  Our number one item on both sides of the chart was respect.  Respect for ourselves, respect for peers and respect for other adults in this building.

Mindfulness is the new pillar for January at school.  We began today with a chat about mindfulness being present in the moment, using it as a tool to decrease anxiety and being peaceful, kind and accepting.  We worked on deep breathing and thinking about the colours of the air as it goes into and out of our bodies.  Cool colours going in and warm colours coming out.  We will be spending time every day on mindfulness.
