From the Principal:
Corron Families;
As we’ve started embedding our top 5 calming strategies into our Morning Meetings and daily work, “belly breaths” has been a strategy that we have found students easily can use independently, even at a young age. If this isn’t a strategy that you are familiar with, here is a quick description so you can begin to use it at home if you choose. This description comes from our Second Steps curriculum that we use K-5.
Have students put their hands on their stomach, just above the belly button.
Next have them focus attention on their breathing as they take a slow, controlled breath through the nose, deep into the lower part of the lungs. They should feel their stomachs moving out as they do this.
Then have them breathe out slowly through the mouth. They should feel their stomachs moving in as they breathe out.
Model this process for students and have them practice with you.
Kick-A-Thon
Once again this year, Mrs. Balaskovits with be joining the kick line for our annual D303 Kick-A-Thon. This event is a joint effort between our two high schools to raise money to help fight cancer. This year’s Kick-A-Thon will be held at St. Charles East High School on October 4th. Each D303 school takes part in the event by raising money towards the cause. To date, this event has raised over $1 million! If you would like to donate to Corron’s efforts, please click the link below and select Corron for your online donation. Student council will also be holding a spirit day on September 27th to raise money.
