LOWER SCHOOL GARDEN
Springtime in the Garden

Director of Aftercare & Funtracks Jul McCormick-Anesh 他写道:“在果阿邦的花园里,永利总站学习如何种植水果、蔬菜和鲜花. According to the National Institute of Health, 园艺结合了体力活动、社会互动和接触自然和阳光. 在永利总站的花园中,学生们可以小组合作,独立完成园艺的各个方面. 学习种植是这些学生将伴随他们一生的技能."

以下是一些关于园艺对健康有益的资源:

SEL In Action

Recently, Gan has been learning about emotions. After reading the story The Color Monster, Gan的学生学习了一些策略,可以用来帮助永利总站的思想和身体在感到强烈或困难的情绪时平静下来. 甘国学生一直在使用的一种策略是冷静牌. 学生们慢慢地在一张平静的卡片上描摹图案,帮助他们的思想和身体慢下来.

二年级的学生一直在学习同理心. They learned that you can have empathy for someone, 不管他们住在哪里,也不管他们和这个人是什么关系. As a fun activity, 学生们制作了“同理心鞋”,以提醒他们换位思考是多么重要.

Lunchtime Poll

GOA教师如何找到降低个人压力水平的方法?
Dr. Klein exercises to de-stress. He used to draw and sculpt, but hasn't in a while. More recently, Dr. 克莱因喜欢研究可能的新发明,他喜欢在家里做项目.
Mrs. Ulric 选择在私人时间读书——这是有道理的! She also loves to pet her dogs for relaxation.
Mr. Hefetz loves to doodle. 他通过专注于一项简单的任务,比如一幅小画或素描,来找到平静.
Mrs. Smith takes long walks to lower her stress level. She, too, enjoys a good book, as well.
Mrs. Altabef loves to find a good book to escape into. She also practices yoga and meditation at home.
Mr. Ober 打开他最喜欢的音乐,让它抚慰他的心灵.
Mrs. Jankoski knits and crochets to keep calm. She practices a mantra of acceptance. “You can’t control all of life.”
Mr. Anderson 冬天在椭圆机上锻炼,温暖的月份更喜欢在户外慢跑.
