After trying out different mindfulness and stress-relieving techniques, students reflected on which strategies worked best for them and created their own \u201cmenus\u201d of self-care options. They then brought these ideas to life through short drama scenarios, showing how the right strategies can turn negative thoughts and feelings into positive ones\u2014a task they thoroughly enjoyed performing!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In writing, we began exploring personal narratives.

In literacy, students will draft new personal narratives, focusing on adding more depth and detail. Within our Unit of Inquiry, we will shift to exploring how developing resilience supports both personal and social growth,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Best wishes,<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mr. G &amp;
