Hi Everyone!

To continue with the theme of Tenderness, this week I want you to focus on all the things that you are grateful for :)

Below, you will find a powerpoint on expressing gratitude that I would like you to take a look at. As well, instead of a reflection, use some time this week to come up with 100 things that you are grateful for!

Have a great week!

Hi Tommies!

This week we are continuing with the Letter A - Attention. What I would like you to do is read this letter that is addressed to YOU from YOUR BODY. It explains what happens when you experience stress, and is actually very interesting! You are bound to make some connections with it from your past experiences with stress.

So, for this week, please reflect on this letter - in what ways have you noticed your body responding to stress before? What can you relate to in this letter?

I will be sharing some more mindfulness activities mid-week!

Have a great week!

Following Monday’s release of the High School Q & A, I just wanted to let you all know that both Culinary Tech & Mindfulness 120 classes will not be offering the credit option. The focus is on courses that universities rely on for prerequisites. With these classes being hands-on courses that focus on in-class participation, I cannot provide an online option that reaches all of the required outcomes to obtain credit. Everyone will still be able to participate in the online learning opportunities and will still get ‘enrolled’ on their transcript, which will count toward graduation. For those of you in Culinary 110, an 'enrolled’ in Culinary Tech 110 will still count as the prerequisite for Culinary Tech 120. Cooking during these times can provide you with continued learning, some routine during your day, a creative outlet and a chance to share your art with the ones you love. Practicing Mindfulness during these times can also provide you with continued learning, some routine during your day, physical activity, a chance to be mindful with the ones you love and of course, an opportunity to just breathe. I will continue posting content from both classes. I’d love to see you continue to participate as much as you can :)
