Mindfulness
Today we talked about finding "Pausabilities". Sometimes we just need to take a pause- to stop, breathe, and take a moment for ourselves. To be mindful. We have big emotions and it's important that we find ways to helps us feel better. Some students shared they like to exercise, read, or take a nap to help them reset. We created mindfulness bottles to help us when we need to Pause.

Due to restrictions, we will not be having a traditional pep fest, however in typical Spartan fashion we didn't let that ruin our fun! The elementary and high school are putting together a series of short, student made videos to create a digital pep fest! We will celebrate in our classrooms during our Friday Spartan time.
My apologies as I have been terrible at taking pictures this week (it has been busy!)
Mrs. Erickson
It was great to be back in action and I think the kids and their teachers will be tired tonight! In 5th grade we reviewed a lot of procedures and even learned some new ones to help keep us safe from germs. If you ask your student what their highlight is, I would bet they will say playing "Stuff the Spartan". Enjoy some pictures.
