Eagle Academy Weekly Update
Week of November 29, 2020
Silver Lining?
It's getting harder to argue that the glass is half full when it comes to the Pandemic's effect on education. Classes have been disrupted, families are trying to balance work & school demands with limited resources and academic progress is threatened.
Is there any upside? Although online school is not the choice for most, it is working for some. In a recent survey 43% of parents agreed with the statement, "my child is less stressed now than before school closed." That's a good thing. Teens are also reported getting more sleep. Also if a child woke up not feeling well, the usual decision was to keep them home from school. Being able to do school from home means more kids have the opportunity to miss less classes.
Although it is still a tough environment to be an optimist, there are still a few things to be thankful for.

The Importance of Self-Care, from Mrs. Russo
As we embark on the holiday season, it is important to remember that while we are in the "season of giving", that we cannot give more to others than what we give ourselves. And, while this time is, typically, spent with our loved ones, those times together may not always be so "jolly." Holiday stress is a real thing. But, it doesn't have to take over your "spirit". Throughout the month of December, it is my hope that you take some time to learn about ways to take care of YOU. "Self-care: Actions you perform to take care of your physical, emotional, and mental needs. When you love something you have ways of showing your love. You water your garden, you feed your cats, and you do sweet little things for those you love. Doing these types of things help to take care of what you love, but who or what takes care of you? Self-care (or, self-love) is about turning that love, attention, and affection toward yourself. You need love, too. It becomes so much easier to have functional relationships when you aren’t living day-to-day deprived of the things that make you feel good. It becomes easier when you aren’t constantly living in a deficit of “love me”, “make me happy”, “make me feel valued”, voids that you are constantly yearning for other people to fill. You can give those things to yourself.
Self-care is all about communicating with your soul and saying “Hey, what do you need right now?” Then doing it. Self-care is different for everyone and changes with moods and situations. It helps you figure out a step-by-step plan on what to do when you’re sick, tired, sad, stressed out, anxious, and all emotions in between. Self-care helps stop the spiral of destructive emotions. It gives you something to focus on when you feel yourself starting to break down. It’s your greatest ally when it comes to coping with life in a healthy and productive way."
