MINDSET MONDAY
This learning from home is different! As we have figured it out, we have all made some mistakes! Mistakes are how we learn and grow. Being able to recognize that and appreciate that helps us keep trying when we do make mistakes.
Learn about Famous Failures and be inspired to look at your mistakes differently!

LET'S TALK TUESDAY
Lemons & Lollipops
Lemons- Have you made a mistake this week that you are worried about?
Lollipops- What is a mistake you have made or a time you have failed & how did it help you learn and grow?
What can you tell yourself next time you make a mistake or feel like you have failed at something?
WELLNESS WEDNESDAY
We all have different ways to cope with things with things. What works for you might not work for someone else. Learning what makes you feel better when you are upset is an important part of taking good care of yourself & your emotions.
Print the lists below and hang them where you can see them.

THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY
Words of encouragement can help someone to keep trying even if something is hard. Words of appreciation let someone that is working hard know that they are important and what they are doing matters. Today, send an email to an adult at school encouraging them or telling them you appreciate them. You can email them or send your message to your social worker (emails listed below) and we will forward it for you!
FAMILY FUN FRIDAY
You did it! You finished WEEK 5 of learning at home! Pat yourself on the back and RELAX as a family. What is your favorite thing to do together? Play games? Watch a movie? Go for a bike ride? Tell silly jokes? Cook dinner together?
Whatever you love to do together- DO THAT TODAY - and ENJOY each other.
