Hey After School families!

We made it through the shortest, yet seemingly longest month of the year! In February, we dug into kinetic sand, celebrated Black History Month and Literacy Month with new books and books on tape, started a weekly Science Club put on by students from UW, and had a lovely time at our Valentine’s themed Family Night!

This month we will continue with our Science Club every Tuesday starting at 4:30 p.m. Each week, the kids will have the opportunity to participate in a different science experiment that is provided by students from UW! We are also going to dive into Mindfulness Mondays. Each week your child will have the choice to participate in a different mindfulness activity to help calm their bodies and minds while gaining tools to navigate their feelings and emotions in positive ways. I personally enjoy journaling, breathing exercises, and getting out in nature.

Do you have any mindfulness practices you use at home? I would love to hear about what you and your families do.

Ms. Ayden and I are looking forward to spring and the longer days coming this month (hopefully bringing along warmer weather). Ayden is celebrating her birthday at the end of the month as well!

Thank you all for everything and take care!
