Break FREE of TV!

I had fun with Gilbert Elementary Students today!  Did you know you can MOVE your body to feel BALANCED?

If you are overexcited, nervous, antsy, "folds" will do the trick.  You could (1) forward fold or (2) monkey

If you are tired, sad, heavy, back bending poses will dust the clouds off your heart.  Try (1) snake (2) table or (3) superhero  

Feeling scattered, unstable, overwhelmed?  Standing poses are what you need:  (1) tree (2) mountain (3) triangle or (4) hero

Balance Feels BEST!  It's Happy Kid Habit #7.  Think OUTSIDE the box and BREAK FREE!

Happy Earth Day!

How do you take care of our world?

Ready for BIG Fun?!

The most recent "Elephant and Piggie" is A Big Guy Took My Ball!.  The next “Elephant and Piggie,” My New Friend is So Fun!, comes out June 3!  Do you know these good books?  They are written by Mo Willems (Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs, That is NOT a Good Idea!, Amanda and Her Alligator)  The guy’s a genius—the “Dr. Seuss” of our times.  They are Mrs. M-C’s favorite reads, and they are SURE to put a SMILE on your face. 

“Gerald is careful. Piggie is not.

Piggie cannot help smiling. Gerald can.
Gerald worries so that Piggie does not have to.

Gerald and Piggie are best friends.

In My New Friend Is So Fun!, Piggie has found a new friend! But is Gerald ready to share?”

“SMILING makes things easier.”  I can’t remember where I heard or read this yesterday .  .  .

 BE WELL--Lift the corners of your mouth towards your ears today!

April FOOL

I'm still an April FOOL on the 2nd Day of the Month!  Sra. Shealy taught me this hat trick several years ago!

Have you seen the tulips blooming?  Remember our Red Ribbon Week Promise?

Breathe like a BUNNY

It's no APRIL FOOLING!  Breathe like a BUNNY on the first day of the month!

You can make bunny ears on top of your head with your hands.  

Inhale small quick breaths -- ears inflate, pump fingers up.
Exhale s-l-o-w-l-y -- ears deflate, relax fingers.
