Relaxation!

Try to relax, and close your eyes and listen to this 3 minute video. It should feel really good after if you do the whole thing.

If you want to make an art and craft, I've also given you this idea about making a Fire Breathing Dragon breathing tube! Instructions are below.

How to Make a Fire-Breathing Dragon Breathing Tube:




     **Here’s what you’ll need:** 
- Paper Roll (Toilet paper roll, paper towel roll, or wrapping paper roll)
 - Green or Red Construction Paper
 - 2 Medium Pom Poms
- 2 Small Pom Poms
 - 2 Medium Googly Eyes
- Red, Yellow and Orange Tissue Paper
- Glue Stick 
STEPS:
 1. Cut the construction paper to the size of the paper roll so it will completely cover it. Use a glue stick to attach it to the roll.
2. Decorate with pompons.
3. Use a glue gun to attach the eyes to the pom poms.
 4. Attach the googly eyes to the pom poms.
5. Attach the pom poms to the paper tube.
6.  For the fire, use tissue paper, cut into about 9″ or 10″ long, pointy strips.
7. Then use a glue stick to attach them to the inside of the paper tube
YOU DID IT!  Aren’t they adorable?!  

Caution: Don’t share with people outside your family - stay safe! :)

Sincerely,
Mrs. O'Hearn

Feeling Scared

Our elementary school counselor reassures all students by sharing her recording of a book called Feeling Scared, by Trace Moroney.

This reading is meant to remind our students that all feelings are okay, and that feelings change. Talking with others to share feelings is an excellent way to cope with uncomfortable feelings.
