  • The Centre WEB leader will then close their eyes and ask their students to move to another corner. WEB leader will guess another corner and if those students are caught they are out.

This is a fun activity to test short term memory and allow students to see if they can improve their short term memory skills.

Sharing ideas is important for students to see different ways to remember (and when it is from other peers it is more meaningful).

Mindful Monday - No WEB leaders

A new resource has been suggested (Thanks Derek) to help with Mindful Mondays. The website http://www.mindfulgnats.com/ is going to provide us a few weeks of mindfulness activities.

Being mindful and purposeful in your breathing can allow time for your mind to refocus and adjust in stressful situations. Today would be a great day to try a breathing technique. Using this link, (from Mindfulgnats website) play one of the videos (suggest to start with the 2 second breathing). Once students have practice with the in-hold-out technique at 2 seconds, you can try to do different lengths of breathing (see videos for clarification)

As we continue to work on our mindfulness, feel free to use other techniques that you are familiar with with your students.

Talking Tuesday

Mindful Monday (PJ DAY) - No WEB leaders

Conversation starters have the ability "to get people thinking and talking about who they are, what they like, and how they interact with the world around them" - Rethink Card Deck; 56 Questions to Encourage Compassion, Shift Perspective & Build Connection

Questions have been categorized into 4 different topics. Choose one or two questions for all students to answer. Past experiences have shown that arranging student chairs into a circle will allow for the highest likelihood of participation.

Connect: What brings you the greatest happiness? (Can always ask following questions. For example: explain, why, tell me more, etc)

Gratitude: Describe three qualities you appreciate about yourself

Compassion: What kind gesture have you offered today (or yesterday, or last week)?

Insight: Share one social issue that matters to you and why.

• WEB Leaders will ask students to try and guess how many candies are in the jar.

  • Students then need to write how many candies they think are in the jar on their piece of paper.

• WEB leaders will collect the slips of papers with the guesses (double check there is a name on the paper).

• The answer will be announced at 9:19 over the announcements revealing the answer to the candy guesses

• WEB Leaders will determine the winner (correct number or closest to the correct number)

• Closest to the correct number keeps the jar of candies. If there is a tie, students can split the candy prize.

October 18th - 22nd

Talking Tuesday - Planning Day for Wednesday activity (Likes and Dislikes). Each student will be given a 1/2 sheet of paper (Teachers please provide). Each student will compose a list of five things they like and five things they dislike (drawing from any experiences). The lists are then folded up and given to the teacher for safe keeping for tomorrow. I recommend asking the students to put their names on their sheets, so on Wednesday, when WEB leaders are revealing whose sheet they are referring to, they know who the author was.

Teachers: Please read through all slips of paper as they are turned in to ensure they are school appropriate.

Winning Wednesday - Likes and Dislikes Game! Using the lists from yesterday, WEB leaders can read the 'likes and dislikes' sheets of paper. It is the goal of the class to guess who is the author of each list. WEB leaders will read one slip of paper at a time and allow the class to try to guess. There should be enough time for all slips of paper to be read. If a student was missing on Tuesday, have them make their lists and add to the pile to be read.

NO SCHOOL Friday

October 12th - 15th

No School Monday

Talking Tuesday - No WEB Leaders Today (They missed Monday training day)

Mindfulness Activity. Sometimes understanding the WHY behind mindfulness will allow students to have more understanding of the reason for doing our Mindful Monday routine. The following short video gives a scientific basis for mindfulness. There is an amazing amount of information in the video (feel free to watch twice).

Discussion Points:

• the physiological responses of your body during moments of frustration/anger - ex: fast, short breaths, heart racing

• the physiological responses of your body when you are calm/happy - ex: slower breathing, deeper breaths

• compare the responses (note the differences for each person, note the differences between the responses of negative feelings vs positive feelings.

• What are some techniques to calm in moments of frustration?
