Happy Friday 7th graders (and parents!),
It’s here, the end of week 2. You made it (tiny dance party to celebrate)!
Here is your daily writing prompt for today and the weekend:
-
-
- Today: What’s the second song on your Stay-at-Home playlist? How does it make you feel? Why is it on your playlist? What kind of dancing/movement works best with it?
- This weekend: Try to write down five things you are grateful for each day. You can explain why, if you want, but the main thing is to express gratitude for at least five different things each day.
- You don’t have to do this, but you might be surprised at how you feel if you do.
-
Today is a Catch-up Day! (It can also be an early Ketchup Day, if you have the necessary supplies 😁)
But, seriously, if you’ve fallen behind during the week or you just need a moment to catch your breath – today is the day for you!
You can work on:
-
-
- reading
- discussion questions
- meditation
- journal entries
- math homework
- dancing
- science experiments
- singing along with Mr. Thomas
- anything else you feel needs to get done
-
Learning (and teaching) from home is hard. I have heard from some of you this week and I appreciate you reaching out for help! For those of you that are still struggling and are having trouble asking for help – we’re here for you and we want to help.
Final thought (and obvious ploy to insert one more tiny dance party), if you’ve had a tough week – one that made you want to tear up your notebooks and throw them out the window – take some time for you today. Take deep breaths, go on a walk, listen to your favorite music, talk to a friend, make some food, do a craft project, read a book, paint/draw a picture… do something that brings you joy.
And, give your parent/guardian a hug. Whether you see it or not, they’re working incredibly hard to support you, and they need extra love and support.
Have a great weekend and remember to reach out if you need help (or even if you just want to say “Hi”)!
