NIS Weekly Update

Celebrations
This week we wrapped up the 1st quarter of the school and our 9th week of school at Northside!
During lunch this week students participated in our first annual mindful lunch as part of our Hawk Time lesson for the week. Students worked on developing skills learned on Monday by taking time to be fully present while eating lunch focusing on their sense of taste and smell. Students recorded some of their observations from the activity and enjoyed practicing mindfulness in this unique way -- our lunchroom supervisors also greatly appreciated the more laid back lunch routine!
Even with the challenges of our 'new normal', Northside teachers founds creative ways to celebrate the fall season and Halloween with their students on Friday. Students were invited to wear pajamas, participated in flashlight reading, share scary stories as well as decorating pumpkins as we wrapped up the week.
We hope you have a wonderful and safe Halloween weekend and remember to remind our students to follow our Safety W's (Wash, Wear and Watch your Wing Span).
