In LA, students created play dough replicas of something they did over the summer, then wrote about their adventures. Wow, it sounds like you all had quite the busy 2 months!!
We also began our MindUp lessons. The goal of these lessons are to drive positive behavior, improve learning and scholastic performance, and increase empathy, optimism and compassion. (MindUp, 2017). Students learned about 3 parts of their brains (the prefrontal cortex - wise owl, amygdala - guard dog, and hippocampus - happy hippo).
Our day ended with stick people art. These beautiful self portraits will be on display outside our classroom for the entire year. Stop by anytime to check them out!
