Bubble Gum Brains

To BREATHE today, we blew BUBBLES . . .

Breath in . . .

Breath out!

When you have a Bubble Gum Brain, you say, "I'm right on track!"  "I need to practice more!"  "I will keep trying."  A Brick Brain says, "This is way too hard."  "I give up!"  "He's smarter than me."

We learned about being flexible with our thinking by practicing flexibility with our bodies!  Another way to describe a Bubble Gum Brain is someone with GRIT!

is for GROWING!  Consider mistakes as LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES.

 A tree grows. Its roots grow deep. Its branches reach high.

Growing happens step-by-step . . . 

 like when planting a seed . . .

 and roots grow down . . . 

 then a stem shoots up . . . 

with many leaves!

is for RESILIENCE.  This is like when a Slinky Dog s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s 

l-o-n-g and then

snaps back to a regular length.  We practiced resilience by moving from dog to plank to dog again!

is for INTEGRITY.  Think "George Washington."

Do your best work, even when nobody is watching.  Be honest.  Be trustworthy.  Complete tasks in a quality way.  It's kind of like SHINING like a STAR:

TWIST, then FOLD . . . 

REACH and 

STRETCH . . . 

 LIFT, UNTWIST and SHINE!

is for TENACITY.  Be tough. Be a WARRIOR.  When we practice WARRIOR 2, it's like SURFING!

After resting, 

we practiced Surfer Chick's "One-Footed Thrill!"

It takes GRIT~

Enjoy BREATHING and using your BUBBLE GUM BRAINS!
