January’s Wellness theme is Goal Setting and Building Healthy Habits. It’s a new year, so it’s a great time to set new goals! What do you want to be different about your life? What is your why for this change? What goals can you set to help yourself achieve what you want? Remember to break up larger goals into smaller steps, and utilize the smart goal method when setting your goals. I hope all our Oak families find much success in achieving their goals this year.
This month students will learn about Smart Goals at school through an electronic tutorial and quiz during a lunchtime activity at school. Here is a short educational clip students will watch on smart goals during the lunch time activity outside the Den on Thursday.
After watching the tutorial, students will answer a few questions on a questionnaire to enter a random drawing to win a front of the line lunch pass. Students can also find more information on smart goals, goal achievement, and building healthy habits in the Den at lunch on Thursdays and Fridays throughout January. If you need help defining your goals, stop by the Den to make an appointment to talk with one of our wellness counselors who will be happy to help you.
This week in the Den:
January 20th Thursday Before school 8:10 AM: Please join us for a morning motivational series on developing Healthy Habits: Changing how we think about change, and ways to embrace change positively.
Thursday during Lunch: Come by the tables outside the Den at Lunch time to link up to the online Lesson on the Smart Goal Setting Method, and have a chance to be entered into a drawing for a front of the line lunch pass. You can also discuss your smart goals with the Den staff and take away helpful tools for reaching your goals.
