Join us for Mindful Moment 22! This week Ms. Nelson reminds us to reset and refresh when we have big feelings. Strong emotions can cause us to make impulsive decisions that we may come to regret later. It is important that we pause and breathe, so that we can make intentional choices.

These simple tips help us understand how our body language can communicate our feelings, even when we’re not aware of it. Learn more here: https://youtu.be/9ZeR413thnQ

One of our classes at AFES enjoyed an unforgettable trip to the safari, where learning came to life! The adventure began with a wagon ride across more than 400 acres of open land, where students observed zebras, ostriches, camels, and bison roaming freely. They also explored a walk-through petting zoo featuring smaller farm animals like sheep and goats. The experience concluded with an up-close encounter at the giraffe overlook and a stroll to see the kangaroos, lemurs, and other wildlife. The students enjoyed a day of nature, discovery, and hands-on learning!
