june 1 w online meeting #48

For your MOM: [If you haven't been doing a minute of mindfulness each day -- if you've been telling yourself you're too busy, you're too stressed, it doesn't matter, whatever-- stop cheating yourself. Give yourself the gift of a minute. Better yet, give yourself 5-10.]

JOURNAL TOPIC: Seems like forever ago that we met in August and I told you that in a *snap* of the fingers we'd be ending the school year. Here we are. When you think back on the year, how have you grown or changed?

- OR -

You can use your journal simply to write about life and your experiences in these unusual, challenging times.

POST:
Today on Zoom we talked about Langston Hughes' poem, "Theme for English B." What does this poem mean to you? Whatever your race, ethnicity, sex, or gender, what does the poem say to you about bringing your whole self to school?  Do you feel like you can be You out loud, or do you feel like you have to be the person that authority figures expect you to be?
