George

"George Washington may have said, "I cannot tell a lie. I chopped down the cherry tree," but I'm not sure about that. Humans have an inborn tendency to lie to protect themselves. We’ve all done it. When our brain senses any form of threat, it switches off good thinking and goes into defensive mode. Kids are no different." --Jim Fay, Love and Logic Institute, Inc.

Getting ready to watch PHES teachers ride a CAMEL?!

The zebra climbed on the giraffe's back to look for FRIDAY.  "Zebra," Giraffe said, "do you see it?"  "No," Zebra responded, "there's a CAMEL in the way?!"

Groundhog Day

What SCARES you?  spiders, snakes, terrorists, criminals, drowning, the dark, roller coasters, kidnappers, babysitters, loud noises

Where do feel FEAR in your body?  stomach, teeth, and heart

What CAN you do?  We can talk to others.  We can ask for help!  We can BREATHE!  

I appreciated the opportunity to think and GROW with 2nd and 3rd Graders today.
