In addition to our learning we have been currently doing we talked about wellness (one of our goals in our School Development Plan)!  Today we had a Community Circle to talk about what it means to healthy and well.  Many kids shared about the exercise they do, which is amazing!  Then we brainstormed other things that mean we are HEALTHY:
-eating veggies
-sleep
-hugs
-fun
-limits on video games (even though we might argue)
-compromise (solving things together)
-realizing we can't be perfect all the time and giving ourselves a break
-mindfulness (strategies when we are stressed)
-respect for self and others
-time in nature with fresh air
-music, art or a hobby
-friends
-energizers
-learn something new
-wash, shower
-share our culture
-growth mindset
-LAUGH
-read
-play games (board and cards too)
-do acts of kindness for others
-bake

What do you and your family do to be HEALTHY and WELL?
