Try out some Cosmic Kids Yoga to help you be mindful of the negative thoughts we sometimes have bouncing around our brains.

Ms. Ching's Grade 2 class is imagining just that! They have started to draw their own superheroes and will be writing about what happens when they have a bad day. Can't wait to see the finished drawings.
The author, Shelly Becker, is excited about the drawings too!
