Students: For every kindness task our students complete, they will check it off their calendars. Students may return their calendar to their homeroom teacher, or to Mrs. Britt, on Tuesday, October 1st.
Students with 20 or more completed tasks will join Mrs. Britt at lunch to paint kindness rocks for our RES Rock Gardens in the front of the school!
Wiggle and Freeze Game
This game is a fun way for kids to start practicing mindfulness and improve their awareness of bodily sensations using movement.
It involves wiggling, moving around, shaking, stomping, or dancing until you say, “Freeze!”
Once everyone stops moving, encourage children to pay close attention to the sensations that they feel in their body.
You can repeat this game several times and can even play music and pause when it’s time to freeze.
