THIS WEEK AT TCS- The ALL-SCHOOL NEWSLETTER for important dates and events.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING IN YOUR CLEAN PLASTIC BOTTLES AND CANS EVERY MONDAY AS WE CONTINUE OUR SERVICE LEARNING/RECYCLING PROJECT TO RAISE FUNDS FOR SUR, OUR BOBCAT.
THE FOUR PILLARS OF WELL-BEING-
PRACTICING MINDFULNESS, KINDNESS, AND GRATITUDE IN OUR COMMUNITY
This week, we revisited our theme of community. We discussed the members who comprise our TCS community and the importance of checking in on the well-being of these individuals while, at the same time, remembering how important it was to check in on ourselves. Some simple ways we said we could do this was by offering a smile or a hello or by asking how one felt and what they might need. The class sent out positive affirmations to everyone, including themselves!
P.E. WITH COACH JEREMY
COACH JEREMY TAUGHT THE YELLOW ROOMERS A FUN GAME HE CALLS PANCAKE WHICH FOCUSES ON THE CHILDREN'S HAND-EYE COORDINATION. FRIENDS UTILIZED DIFFERENT WAYS TO THROW A BEAN BAG IN THE AIR AND THEN CATCH IT IN A "SCOOP." ONE OF THE WAYS THEY PRACTICED THIS WAS BY FLIPPING THE BEAN BAG AS IF IT WERE A PANCAKE. ALL THEY NEEDED WAS THE MAPLE SYRUP!
ON FRIDAY, THE YELLOW ROOMERS PRACTICED THEIR SOCCER SKILLS AS THEY DRIBBLED AND KICKED A BALL FROM ONE HOOP TO ANOTHER. THE TRICKY PART WAS NOT USING THEIR HANDS, BUT ONLY THEIR FEET. THEY DID A FABULOUS JOB.
