As we approach the third month of school, we are encouraged to learn very important life lessons such as, "whatever energy we give off, is the energy we get back". As such, during a class discussion of a healthy, body and mind, we shared many unique ways of starting our day with a positive attitude.
For all those days we wake up on the wrong side of bed and we aren't feeling quite ourselves, let these steps help turn a frown upside down!
Here we go....
Step 1
As you get up from bed, rise slowly and relax your neck, arms, and legs. Shake it all out.
Step 2
Do some stretches, sit-ups, squats or jumping jacks. This will keep you awake and will get you ready for the day.
Step 3
Don't skip the most important meal of the day- breakfast. Try to eat a healthy and balanced meal. Think about what you are eating, what it tastes like, how it feels, and how it will energize you throughout the day.
Step 4
Drink loads of water and bring a water bottle to keep you hydrated throughout the day.
Step 5
Smile on your way to school. Your day will go fine. If you're worried about something, let it go! You can't tell how things are going to happen.
Step 6
Think of all the good things you will be experiencing during the day. Try to organize your day and what is expected of you as you enter the classroom before arrival.
Step 7
Be confident in yourself and be proud of your achievements and talents- big or small.
Step 8
Be nice to everyone. Treat people with respect and you will get the respect you deserve.
Step 9
Have fun! You don't want to be constantly thinking about past negative events or worried about what will happen in the future. Be in the present. Relax and enjoy yourself and you will be happier.
Step 10
Go to bed early and always get enough sleep so you don't feel irritated in the morning.

We also learned about our brain. This video is a representation of the brain using our hands. We will be using the 'hand representation' of the brain in class in order to help students make wise decisions and talk about/communicate their feelings.
