Daily Activity--Exercise

Activity: Heartbeat Exercise

Paying attention to one’s heartbeat has a role in many mindfulness exercises and activities. To begin, tell your child to jump up and down in place or do jumping jacks for one minute.

When they have finished, have them sit down and put a hand over their heart. Instruct them to close their eyes and pay attention only to their heartbeat and, perhaps, their breath as well.

This exercise teaches children to notice their heartbeat, and use it as a tool to help their focus. 

Sample Daily School Schedules

    

These are just ideas to help you organize your child's day. 

Remote/e-Learning Due to COVID-19

Good Morning,

As we move closer to embarking on "remote/e-Learning", I ask that you be patient and understanding with me because we are about to enter uncharted waters.  Please understand that everyone is trying their best during this time of uncertainty.  We will all be learning and figuring this out as we go along.  All I ask from you is to please be patient and kind.  

Continue to look for more correspondence from myself as well as Killian.  If needed, I have resources on my blog and I will continuously update it with more resources for your kiddos to practice on until remote/e-Learning is up and running.  

Feel free to email me if you need any further information, assistance or details.  I will do the best I can to help or answer any questions.  Thank you! #bettertogether #wecandothis #Premier
