From Guidance Counselor Mrs. Delmore
I'm challenging the families of St. Charles to participate in the Children=E2=80=99s Hospital of Wisconsin Healthy Schools Challenge! This is a program supported by Kohl=E2=80=99s Cares and gives us an opportunity to win one of three $500 grants or one of 20 classroom awards.
The challenge: students track screen time outside of school for one week.
This simple activity helps encourages students to become more aware of the time spent on computers and other devices. We would like to find out how many hours a day they are spending on screens, when it=E2=80=99s healthier for their minds and bodies to spend that time being active, interacting with family and friends and focusing on mindfulness.
For one week, students record the amount of time spent each day =E2=80=94 outside of school =E2=80=94 on screens. I will collect the record sheets and then have classroom discussions about what they learned. Were they surprised by the amount of time spent on screens after school and in the evening? Do they feel differently when they are on a screen versus reading a book, playing a game or engaging in physical activity? How does screen use impact their relationships?
Please record (or if old enough, have your child record) screen use (outside of school) from Monday April 9 until Sunday April 16. The sheets will be distributed next week.
Thank you for supporting this project!
Also, on a separate note, there is a great presentation coming up about fostering social and emotional learning at home and the hands-on workshop takes place at the Elmbrook School District offices on Tuesday, April 24. Learn more here.
God Bless,
Mrs. Delmore
School Counselor
