The Principal's POV on...this month's SEL article!
As we prepare for parent/teacher conferences, concerts, winter assessments and the holidays, the theme of SEL/mindfulness being a "parallel initiative" couldn't be more timely. In order to be the best teacher/parent/nurse/counselor/secretary/custodian (...you get the picture) that you can be, we must take some time out to attend to our own social-emotional needs!
Hit the gym, read a good novel, or (my personal favorite) hit a coffee shop or book store. At the very least, take a few moments to breathe and participate in a mindfulness meditation before heading home each evening. This will help us to be the solution, and to communicate to our colleagues, students & loved ones:This is important, you can do it & I won't give up on you!
THANK YOU to everyone that shared your thoughts on the article, on how our #EverydaySEL journey continues to shape your views, and on the successes you have already experienced with our students...and to everyone in the #BullockES community, look below for some STANDOUT quotes from this month's dialog!
