In order to make this an event that everyone can participate in safely, it would be greatly appreciated if parents could avoid sending their children to school with peanut butter products for lunch on Tuesday the 30th. Thank you in advance for helping to make this a successful event.
Students in grades 2-5 at the South School will join more than 2 million others across the country to cross social boundaries on Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012 as part of the 11th annual Mix It Up at Lunch Day, an event designed to foster respect and understanding in schools. Mix It Up encourages students to sit with someone new in the cafeteria for just one day. More than 5,000 schools are expected to participate in this year’s Mix It Up at Lunch Day, which is sponsored by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Teaching Tolerance project.

This week I have been working with many of my students on increasing their understanding and level of comfort with a variety of coping skills. I created a Cup O' Coping Skills which contains a variety of different strategies to calm down and relax. I plan to have students pick from this cup every other week so they become experts at learning how to self-soothe. Strategies selected this week included deep breathing, squeezing play-dough, elephant hands (a muscle relaxation exercise), exercise, meditation, and visualization exercises. |
