Winter Weather
Wow, what a cold weekend! I hope the weather didn't cause you too much hardship or frustration. I enjoyed cozying up by the fire, playing card games, and watching a movie with the family.
I couldn't help being drawn outside to do a little stargazing. If one can bear the cold, the clear night skies of winter are fantastic to observe. The constellations seem to pop in the sky. My family enjoyed finding Leo, Orion, Ursa Major with the big dipper, and Jupiter shining ultra bright. Our highlight was seeing a meteor shoot across the sky.
I encourage you to get outside and enjoy a bit of our winter. Here are a few of my favorite winter activities:
- Downhill and backcountry skiing.
- Hiking or snowshoeing.
- Building a fire to make a cup of cocoa.
- Finding and identifying animal tracks.
- Digging a snow cave.
- Watching the stars.
- Sledding or tubing.
- Having a snowball fight…off campus, of course!
Character Trait of the Month: Perseverance
This month is all about Perseverance. One way to think about Perseverance is “pushing yourself through challenges and obstacles.” We all experience challenges in our lives. We all have moments when we feel like we can’t do it or that we want to give up on a big task. It is important to develop tools that help us work through those challenges in order to grow in those moments instead of giving up. How might you practice Perseverance as a family this month? Perseverance is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Strong. Throughout the school, students will be developing skills like focusing, organizing, and goal-setting.
