This week's Habit of Mind is a good one... Listening and understanding with empathy. How can we teach our young people to listen and share similar experiences with friends in need, without dismissing the friend's experience? This is challenging even for adults sometimes!! Stay tuned for our next RED Habit of Mind post to hear how our thoughtful little people are are learning to listen and understand with empathy!

Can't stop this dynamic duo!! 👦🏼👧🏽 We're so lucky to have such great weather this week so we can get back to playing on our fields, but we can't stop thinking about how sweet this rainy relay was last week 🥰 We have been working as a group to use more supportive language on the field, and this spontaneous relay was exactly the activity to encourage that.. When we tell you, these kids in line were SCREAMING cheering for their teammates!! Our staff even caught two opponents fist-bump and say "you got this man, hustle" as they waited for their turn 🥺❤️

Our downstairs 3rd and 4th grade crew has successfully reached the goal of 10 mask heroes during the month of September 💪🏽😷Last week, the 10 mask heroes put their heads together and decided on special rewards they wanted share with everyone at DSU. These treats will be to show thanks to those who have demonstrated awesome mask behavior that ultimately has kept and will continue to keep us together for as long as possible. Get ready for new snacks, games, and blender options this week, and congratulations mask heroes!! ❤️💙

Our young people were very self-reflective as we navigated our way through MANAGING IMPULSIVITY this week and last. Learning to manage impulsive words and actions is a serious skill, but our kids are at the age where they can make the distinction between what is expected behavior and what is not. Many made the promise to themselves that they would not “Rage Quit” during DSU games which was awesome and hugely improved the quality of our playtime. We were also impressed to hear students share ways that they could be less impulsive in the classroom or homework environment.
We have some very smart and thoughtful little people on our hands! Excited to challenge their brains next week with another Habit of Mind ✨
