This week on Mindful Monday we are going to the beach. The weather is cooler here and I miss going to the beach so we are going to take a trip to the beach and spend sometime on the warm sand listening to the waves. We’ll look at The Seashore by Charlotte Zolotow with paintings by Wendell Minor.

This week on Mindful Monday we are talking about being thankful. Sometimes we want things and when we get them we see that someone else has one that is better and more beautiful. Being thankful for what we have and seeing that it is just right for us is part of the story we are looking at. The Better Tree Fort by Jessica Scott Kerrin is a story about a boy names Russell who wants to build a tree fort in the backyard with is dad. His dad says he doesn’t know much about building or tree forts but together they build the perfect tree fort.

This week on Mindful Monday we are going to take a walk through the woods. It is fall, the weather is cooler, and the leaves are changing colours. As we take a walk on the trail we will listen for the sounds, find some smells, and focus on our breathing. So get your coat on and let’s go for a walk.

👋 Hello friends! This week on Mindful Monday we are looking at the Power of Yet. We will talk about a book called The Magical Yet that talks about how we learn to do things by practicing and being patient. It takes time. We might not be able to do it YET but if we keep trying we will be able to do it. So find your Magical Yet and go give it a try!

👋 Hello friends! This week on Mindful Monday we are going to talk making new friends. Have you gone back to school? Have you made any new friends? It is hard to be a new kid or a shy kid at school. Maybe you like being alone or maybe you just don’t know how to join the group. We are going to look at two books about making new friends and how Bear and William make new friends. Maybe you can take a look around and see if there is anyone that needs a new friend.
