Feel Good Wednesday
with Ms. McCoy, Mrs. Temme, and Ms. Kellerman
January 27th, 2021
Welcome to the first Feel Good Wednesday of the Spring semester! I hope you all enjoyed your Winter break had some time to rest and revive from last semester. January's IB Learner Profile Trait is open-minded. I challenge you all to go through this semester with an open mind. As always we wrap up our weekly newsletter with some self-care tips!
IB Learner Profile for January
Open-minded:
Understanding and appreciating their own cultures and personal histories and are open to the perspectives, values, and traditions of other individuals and communities. They are accustomed to seeking and evaluating a range of points of view, and are willing to grow from experience.
How can we open our minds?
What would you like to learn about me?
Let's learn to understand and accept each other's differences.
How can we make a difference?
How can we show others that we care?
How can we spread kindness?
What actions can we take to be global learners?
Self-Care Corner
The start of the semester can often times be intimidating because in some cases you have to readjust to a new schedule or classes. This semester I encourage you to look at the start of the semester as a fresh start.
As students it is important you guys have a good balance between the time you set aside for your education and learning as well as time spent on you. The time spent on you can be focused on your physical, medical, and/or mental health. It can be time spent on what you like to do in your free time. It is good that you rejuvenate your routine and do not get burnt out from it!
