November will be a time for thinking about
THANKFULNESS.
The Center has several activities planned on campus that will give Francis Marion students opportunities to take a moment out of their busy schedules to consider ways to be thankful. This time of year lends itself to practiced thankfulness and research shows it can have lasting effects!
"Clinical trials indicate that the
practice of gratitude
can have dramatic and lasting effects in a person's life," said Robert A. Emmons, professor of psychology at UC Davis. "It can
lower blood pressure, improve immune function and facilitate more efficient sleep.
"
We want to take this time to say
T
HANK YOU for all your important work!

Best Practice District Feature
|
The Center regularly partners with schools, districts, and organizations to facilitate professional study events focused on serving the needs of children of poverty, and ALL learners. This month's featured project is...
Berkeley County Schools
Family Engagement Math Night
Students and their families are given a math scavenger hunt sheet that they complete while at the grocery store. The math activities are grade appropriate and students begin their grocery store hunt in different locations to avoid crowding the store. Teachers are stationed on the different aisles to offer assistance if needed. Students get to practice "real life math"- which box of cereal gives me more for my money? Families get to work directly with their students, and the community sees learning in action. It is a win- win for everyone. An added treat is that families get to take home the ingredients for dinner, usually spaghetti noodles and sauce, bread, and a bag of salad.
Thank you for your important work!
