Calvin's Thought of the Week:
You have only failed if you have given
up. Until then, it’s learning.
up. Until then, it’s learning.
Mindfulness:
Today we watched a video about how sometimes our brain can drive our live instead of us driving our brains. Students talked about how sometimes can be hard to focus and be really present at the moment. Mindfulness helps students manage their feelings more effectively and work through it more quickly. Frequent mindfulness practice—even micro-sessions of a few minutes or less—imparts health benefits. Research suggests that mindfulness programs can improve cognitive performance as well as resilience to stress.
Video:
In addition to frequent discussion about mindfulness and how our brain works, we developed a small corner for students to take a brain break and try to find their focus. Ask your child if they already used our "Driving your Brain" corner.
PINK SHIRT DAY:
Wednesday | February 27 is ‘Pink Shirt Day’. All staff and students are encouraged to wear pink on that day to show that we treat each other with respect. Bullying in any form is unacceptable, and we all have a role to play in preventing bullying.

Students will be participating in an Inline Skating program being offered during their regular Phys. Ed. classes from March 4 -15. Please see the letter coming home today for more details and forms.
