Over time we want our students to understand they are in charge of the thousands of thoughts that enter their head during any given day. As the thoughts register - ask yourself - is this thought helping or hurting me?

Please help your child practice this skill. We will post pictures of our dream catcher or "thought catcher" when they are finished.
