The end of the school year can be stressful for students. Even young ones. That's why, for this #wellnesswednesday, we want to focus on some ways to help calm the end of the year stress for your young student. Here are 5 strategies for closure and transition found at edutopia.org: 1. Symbolic Gifts "A token such as a coin, stone, shell or any object shared with another...this would be a great resource for transition as students leave their classes..." 2. Photos and Affirmations "Create an affirmation photo...with a positive affirmation to be embraced long after the school year ends." 3. Planting and Nurturing "Design a seed-planting celebration...students can take care of their small plants all summer long knowing they're caregivers..." 4. Remember to Breathe "Calming the brain’s stress response is critical to positive emotion, clarity of thought, and emotional regulation. When we use breathing or focused attention exercises to quiet the emotional center of our brains where fight, flight, and fear reside, we are activating neural circuits in the brain that strengthen the flow of oxygen and glucose through the prefrontal cortex" 5. The Family Tree "Create a family tree with the students from your child's class. This helps them visualize that their class is connected - even through the seasons of life." -Lori Desautels, Edutopia.org #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
