Keep Smilin'!

Happy Hot Dog

HOT DOG, It's Thursday!  Marc Nemiroff and Jane Annunziata created the book Shy Spaghetti and Excited Eggs.  I like the way each emotion is described as a food!  I love the reminder at the Feelings Restaurant -- "All feelings are OK! No feeling is right or wrong!  100% discount when you show your feelings in a good way!"

Fly like a Vulture??!!

Today's thought--keep moving, keep moving, keep moving!  It's not the time of year to STOP.  :-)

Here's to GOOD HEALTH!

Feeling IN THE PINK on Tuesday!  I'm thankful for a safe and healthy day.  What choices can you make today to keep your body healthy and strong?

Moon Pie Monday

Be Sweet!

Celebrate Life

Friday, May 10 was our Relay for Life celebration at White Knoll High School!

Val and I will team up for more fun during the weeks of July 8-11 and July 15-19!  Wanna attend YOGA CAMP with us?!  It's another way to Celebrate Life.

Queen for a Day

Thank you for another GREAT balloon hat!  I was "QUEEN for a Day" today!  We even mixed up some Pirate Queen fun too!  It was a ROYAL experience.  :-)

Book Parade

Happy Children's Book Week!  Thanks to Ms. Andis for organizing a book character parade to celebrate today!  Here's "Interrupting Chicken" and "Tintin" .  .  .  

 What books do you like to read?

Dance Your Dance

BLOOM where you are planted!  I wore the purple flower headband with my Dancing Hippos t-shirt!  This was another creation I made with Grandmas Drucie 24 years ago .  .  .  When I was a classroom teacher, I loved to read April Rabbits by David Cleveland and then follow that with Happy Hippopotami by Bill Martin, Jr.  Dance your dance this day and EVERYDAY.

TOADally Terrific Tuesday!

Hope you're JUMPING into a HOPPY day!  I wore my FROG beanie hat this morning and got to work the bus loop for a change of scenery.  It was good to see folks who come to school this way!  I'm also wearing my TOADally Terrific t-shirt I painted with my Grandma Druicie in 1989 .  .  . what memories will you make today that you can celebrate 24 years from now??!

DINOmite Monday!

Thanks to Vangie for the GGGGRRRReat new DINO hat!  Hope your Monday was DINOmite!

May the Force Be with YOU!

BREATHE like DARTH VADER!  Tighten your throat as you breathe out through your nose.  It’s kinda of like fogging up a mirror with your breath, but you do it with your mouth closed. May the force be with you!

Pinwheel Breath

Use your imagination!  What color is your pinwheel?  BREATHE and have fun.

Flower Breath

Breathe like a FLOWER today!  Begin with a closed fist and then INHALE open your fingers, EXHALE close.  BLOOM again and again!  Three-five good deep breaths calm you down and help you do your best problem solving.

Balloon Breath

It's PASS Testing Week (Palmetto Assessment of State Standards) and YOU'VE GOT THIS!  All you need to do is BREATHE and RELAX and let your BRAIN SHINE!

Breathe in and blow up your pretend balloon.  As you exhale, put your worries and concerns in the balloon.  Take five deep breaths and then tie off the balloon and let it go!  You feel calm and relaxed and ready to do your best thinking.  :-)

Whatever FLOATS Your BOAT!

Don't be CHICKEN!  Give it a try.

Breathe and Dance

I really have enjoyed getting to know "kid president!"  If you haven't seen his "pep talk," it's worth the 3 minutes and 27 seconds investment and then some .  .  .  http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=l-gQLqv9f4o&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dl-gQLqv9f4o

Breathe--"air up your nose"

Dance-"you can cry about it or you can DANCE"

And laugh and smile as you dream, dream, dream!
