PLC's this week:
NO PLC'S this week...continue to review your MOY, Reflect, and focus on the RTI process for your red and yellows!
An incredible health specialist then told me that my breathing had the power to help me. (Link Below!)
By doing slow, deep "belly breathing" (also known as diaphragmatic breathing) we send a message to our brains and bodies to calm down. Our physiology changes when we breathe this way.
I started practicing it after this advice and... WOW! It radically improved how I felt.
Take a few minutes to enjoy the benefits too!
Relax your belly, close your mouth and breathe in and out of your nose, slowly and deeply.

Home and School Connection
- Help us promote the upcoming family activities. Father - Daughter Dance, WOW Night, and STEM Night.
- Make two positive contacts this week. DoJo makes it very simple to send a positive note to parents, especially for those students that don't get a lot of recognition. Building student-efficacy.
