Weekly Update: May 4th-8th

This was a busy and very crafty week as we were working on a few surprises for a special someone in our life!! Make sure you check your backpacks this weekend! Students worked on a variety of art and craft tasks where they had lots of opportunity to strengthen their hand muscles and fine motor skills and explore their creativity with different art mediums! 

Happy Mothers Day to all of our Moms! 

In honor of "Hats on for Mental Health Day" we also learned about our brains! We read a book called "Its My Brain" where we learned all of the superpowers our brains have and all of the things it does of us. (Its in charge of our thoughts, feelings, learning, movements, decisions and more! 

We also learned how we can take care of our brain and our mental health, things such as: 

• getting enough sleep 
• limiting screen time 
• getting exercise 
• eating healthy foods 
• talking about our feelings 
• taking some time to relax 
• wearing a helmet when we ride our bike, scooter or skateboard
• wearing a helmet when we go ice skating or roller skating
