Mindful Monday

Ms. Babcock (our teacher candidate) led us in a beautiful mindful walk. We paid special attention to the smells, sights and sounds as we walked. We also did a scavenger hunt to guide our walk.

Our Weekly visit to Sharkey. Sharkey is losing more and more leaves. We noticed that the only leaves left on Sharkey are green!

We read the book "Ruby Finds a Worry."

Ruby finds a worry and realizes that the more we worry about our worries or pretend that they are not there - the bigger they get! Then she discovers that if you talk about a worry -it shrinks or even goes away! Who can we talk to about our worries? Our family at home, our teachers, our friends and more!

We talked about what worries we might have. Ms. M, Ms. Babcock and I were all very impressed with the deep thinking that went into this discussion. Young people have real worries too!
