Talking through emotions and hard times is very difficult. It's hard to confide your issues into someone especially if you haven't done so before. But, it is so important to not hold onto negative emotions! Remember I am also here to chat!

“Self-care is never a selfish act — it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer to others.” ~ Parker Palmer #mindfulness

If your head is filled with negativity, then your world will be too. #mindfulness

Thoughts can take us to really good places or really bad places. It depends on the ones that we follow. #mindfulness

We are half way until Winter Break! Now more than ever it is so important to check-in with yourself and ask what your body and mind needs! Take a moment today to asses what you need and have a conversation with your children. Sit and ask how they are doing and what they need!

Prioritise your self-care this week. Spend at least an extra twenty minutes each day doing something you love.

Hello Everyone and Welcome back!! Coming back after a break could be a shock to our system. Let's focus on taking some time for ourselves.

Remember, when we focus on little moments throughout the day that make us smile, it's easier to find joy throughout the week.

I'd like to share a student's work because oh my goodness! The assignment for Black History Month was to choose an artist and create an original piece of artwork inspired by the artist's style. This student chose to do an Amy Sherald inspired Mona Lisa!The talent here at parkaveschool

Start this week off strong by reaching out to people who brighten your day! Let them know how important they are in your life and you may just brighten their day as well!

Who else is a worrier?! I also tell the students that if a statement starts with "what if..." then it may be a worry thought. Try living in the moment and don't worry about things that MAY or MAY NOT happen

WE'VE MADE IT TO SPRING BREAK! Have a wonderful and safe break everyone!
