Concord Families, I want to take time to thank you for caring and sharing with our families during this season.  As our families received their gifts of food, cleaning supplies and presents for their children they shared much gratitude.  Some of our families best expressed their gratitude through tears of joys, some expressed their gratitude with big smiles and extended multiple thanks.   I was asked to extend the appreciation to you and to our students.  One parent said,  "You have no idea how much this helps."   Together we spread some love, peace and joy in our own community.  Thank you for caring and sharing...

We are discussing how each person is responsible for controlling their energy and recognizing the way our bodies talk to us.  If we become familiar with our own body talk we will have a better chance to do something about our emotions and handle our energy instead of our energy or emotions handling us! Please encourage a few techniques when you notice your child's energy entering the yellow/caution zone. I shared with the kid's that counting to 10 does not work for me.   Instead or counting to ten,  I repeat a positive phrase in my head slowly until I gain a more comfortable balance.  My phrase is " I can do this."   Let it go... Ask yourself, "Is it really worth it?"  If your answer is no - let it go!  If your answer is yes, get yourself ready to do the work needed to make positive difference!  

Take you EMOTIONAL temperature! Listen to your BODY! Stop and  Relax... Let your emotions settle so you can think clearly 1 plastic bottle, 3/4 bottle hot water, 1 bottle tacky glue, 1 glitter container
