10th Day of School! ๐โ๏ธ Two Weeks Have Passed! ๐
And just like that, we have officially completed our first two weeks of school! โค๏ธ
On our 10th day, we talked about Habit #7: Sharpen the Saw ๐ช๐ฑ, which means taking good care of ourselves. We learned that we need to take care of ourselves so we can also have the energy and strength to learn, grow, and care for others.
My little adventurers and I really tickled our brains brainstorming ways we can take good care of ourselves, and this is what they came up with! See their drawings for all the cute little details. ๐ฅฐ
1. Get 8 hours of sleep. ๐ด
I told them to add โZzzzzโ to their drawings, and one of my kids asked, โI do not snore, Ms. Lumen. Should I still write them?โ ๐ Goodness! Kids are really kids, like LITERALLY! Hahaha!
2. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. ๐ง
Keeping our bodies hydrated and ready for another day of learning!
3. Eat vegetables, fruits, and other healthy foods. ๐๐ฅฆ๐
I told them that eating fruits and vegetables helps keep our bodies healthy and can make our skin glow. One kid immediately turned to her seatmate and said, โI ate watermelon this morning. Did you see my skin glowing?โ There you go! ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐
4. Take a shower and keep ourselves clean. ๐๐ซง
Because taking care of our bodies is part of taking care of ourselves!
5. Brush our teeth. ๐ชฅ๐
Healthy smiles are part of a healthy us!
6. Wear nice, clean clothes. ๐๐
I told them, โBecause when you look good, you feel good!โ And they definitely met my expectations. Some of them even drew themselves wearing gowns! ๐๐
7. Exercise and move our bodies. ๐โโ๏ธ๐คธโโ๏ธ
Keeping our bodies active and strong!
8. Play with friends. ๐ซโค๏ธ
I asked them to think about something that makes them happy, and this was one of their answers. Sometimes taking care of ourselves also means doing things that bring us joy and spending time with people who make us happy.
And there we have it! Two weeks of school and all 7 Habits reviewed! ๐
I think my little adventurers and I are finally ready to take the leap into our next adventure: diving deeper into academics next week! ๐โ๏ธ๐ง
Hereโs to learning, growing, laughing, and making more wonderful classroom memories together! โค๏ธ
