Blackshear Caring Corner Newsletter

In these strange times, we can expect that kids are waking up on the wrong side of the bed. This newsletter offers some suggestions for making healthy choices to help kids and adults during this difficult unprecedented time. Use whatever works for you.

We miss you!

Sincerely,

Ms. Lopez-Gomez & Ms. Rosie

Through this page we can stay connected. I will share resources for all the family to have fun together, practicing how to stay calm and taking care of ourselves and others. I've included resources for parents, read alouds, and mindfulness and relaxation videos. Have fun practicing together as a family! I will be updating every week.

Check out SEL Week 1 Activities!

Mr. Grape Reads "The Serious Goose," by Jimmy Kimmel. Enjoy!

Jacob & I read "A Brain Smart Start For Our Day" created By Lety Valero. A Brain Smart Start has four components: Activity to Unite, Activity to Disengage Stress, Activity to Connect, & an Activity to Commit. See which Jacob and I choose to use throughout the day.

It's okay if you're grieving. Your school year was interrupted abruptly. Your relationships are not the same. Your plans were erased. It is okay if you are grieving the loss of all of that. Take care of yourselves, and be gentle with yourselves.

We hear you and we understand you...all the feelings you have right now are so valid. Know that you are not alone.

Sparks with success says hello and brings us some music therapy during this difficult time.

Thank you Sparks with Success!!!
