Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well and finding
some type of peace and happiness during these unfamiliar times. It is important
to our mental health that we remember to focus on positive thoughts and
actions. As we are guided to practice social distancing it is essential we
remember to exercise and hold ourselves responsible to complete physical
activities like taking a walk or riding a bike. I have changed my blizzard bag
activities into enrichment activities. There is no assessment on these
activities, just things you can do to help your physical and mental well-being.
My suggestions for you are to complete a certain number of repetitions (say 20
daily) for push-ups, sit-ups and jumping jacks. See if you can increase that
number over time. Lastly, I encourage you to get outside this weekend and go
for a walk, ride a bike, or play catch with a family member (any type of ball
will do)! Even though it is supposed to be in the 40’s, the forecast predicts
sunny skies and the fresh air will be free! I will be posting more activities
and suggestions next week, for now I just wanted to say I hope all is well,
have a great weekend, I miss you and until we see again, be safe, healthy and
smart! –Mr. Dulude
