There were 5 girls today and it was super hot out. Todays lesson worked on positive and negative thoughts we say to ourselves and how to differ between the two. We ran laps and counted how many laps we ran with colorful bracelets. The girls set goals for how many laps they wanted to run and mostly acheived those goals. They logged those laps in their notebooks and noticed that they have already ran more laps than the last few times]]> 2023-04-11 02:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2549533718 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2549535134 Today we were in the park and it was a smaller group of only 4 girls. It was super hot out all the girls continued to have such a positive attitude. todays lesson was about internal and external beauty. The girls ran laps and they were handed a notecard with another girls name on it. When they completed the lap they would write down a word about that person describing their internal beauty. At the end the girls played on the playground for 10 minutes and they all helped each other try to do the monkey bars and gave each other advice. ]]> 2023-04-11 02:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2549535134 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2549567882 running buddy at the 5k]]> 2023-04-11 03:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2549567882 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2550315908 running buddy at the 5k]]> 2023-04-11 15:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2550315908 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2550316381 running buddy at the 5k]]> 2023-04-11 15:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2550316381 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2566366975 Todays lesson was focusing on emotions. We asked the girls what emotions they felt at school today and how we can turn those feelings into something more positive. We recognized if the feelings they wrote on the index cards were comfortable ones or uncomfortable ones. And then we ran laps around the playground. I ran all 20 laps with Elena and to encourage some of the other girls we started to plays songs and sing along to them. ]]> 2023-04-24 23:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2566366975 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2566367357 2023-04-24 23:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2566367357 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2567949837 Girls got new running shoes]]> 2023-04-26 00:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2567949837 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2571024582 Today I picked up 2 of the girls from the Blackstone. We talked about what went well in our day and what wasn’t so good. Todays lesson theme was emotions. We talked about why it’s bad to bottle up emotions and that it’s ok to express how you feel even if you are not happy all the time. We did our laps and got a different each lap and explained a time we felt the expression on that emoji. To get everyone moving we also brought a few jump ropes today and the girls LOVED that. It was so cute to see 3 girls at a time so the jump rope and use teamwork and tell each other when to jump. ]]> 2023-04-27 23:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2571024582 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2574451949 Todays lesson was about empathy. The girls were given a scenario about empathy and on their lap they were asked to figure out how they could show empathy for that situation. We talked about the steps for showing empathy and real life examples. ]]> 2023-05-02 02:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2574451949 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2578978283 Todays lesson was about words matter. We showed an example with a smear of toothpaste on a piece of paper and showed how even if we really try we can’t fit the toothpaste all back in the bottle. It demonstrated that once we say hurtful words we can’t take them back. Here is a picture of one of the girls holding the colorful bands. This is how we keep track of how many laps they complete to see if they reached their lap goal for the day. ]]> 2023-05-05 01:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2578978283 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2582491968 Todays lesson was about friendship. The warm up activity was about bonding together as friends. The girls paired up in groups and would run to cones together to get the next question. The questions were simple questions the girls brainstormed that friends should know about each other. Once we did that we started going with our laps. The girls got a notecard with an adjective on it and on the lap they answered how does that adjective on the card show up in friendship? ]]> 2023-05-08 18:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2582491968 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2582492397 Todays lesson was about friendship. We learned a new acronym called HEART and it tells us about what qualities make up a good friend (Helpful, Encourage, Accept, Really listen, Treat others with kindness). After the introduction lesson we ran laps. We have now expanded the size of our laps because we need to prepare for the 5K coming up! We came very prepared to practice after our zoom call and gave our energy awards at the end of practice. Typically the girls give them out to highlight someone they saw doing modeling behavior. But today we printed out signs and the girls loved getting physical recognition they could take home.]]> 2023-05-08 18:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2582492397 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2585548404 Today we had a zoom call with the coaches. We worked on ideas of how we can all be better coaches and foster more of a team. Last practice there was some negative energy from the girls. We had a call of what we can do if that situation comes up next time and how we can better help the girls. Were going to split up the lesson plan and each coach will get a certain section of the lesson to preview to edit the lesson plan to tailor to this group of girls more. ]]> 2023-05-10 13:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2585548404 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2591618559 Todays lesson was about conflict. We learned about what a conflict is and some steps we can take to hopefully resolve it. The steps we learned were stop, breathe, think, resolve. We started off by playing leap frog and the person who made it to the front of the line would say one of the steps to resolve a conflict and then when the next person made it to the top of the line that person would say the step after. Today we had 2 new girls join us. They were siblings of the girls who are already apart of the team. The girls did a great job jumping into the lesson and the laps and were so eager to participate. We ran our laps and on each lap we got a print out of an example of conflict that was relevant to the girls. For example one of the print outs had a picture of Woody and Buzz from toy story arguing at each other over a toy. The girls had to identify the conflict and tell a coach at the end of the lap a way to resolve this conflict. ]]> 2023-05-15 16:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2591618559 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2592038650 Today we practiced for the upcoming 5k. All the girls ran 20 laps. We had many speakers going for motivation and the girls loved signing along to the music. To encourage the girls to run we would try to run for a whole song without walking at all. At the end the girls shared how they felt while running these 20 laps and how rewarding it was at the end. Also some of the girls who have participated in Girls on the Run before shared what its like at the 5k, so all the girls know what to expect ]]> 2023-05-16 00:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2592038650 23riseberge https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2602656774 Todays lesson was about teamwork. Teamwork showed up throughout the whole lesson today, in and outside of the lesson plan. The girls favorite activity is at the end playing jump rope. They always demonstrate amazing teamwork by telling the other girls when you jump, cheering them on, or inviting another girl in to jump with all of them. To warm up we played fishy fishy cross my ocean. The girls would make sure to tag their friends who were stuck in the "ocean" to free them up. After the fun warm up game we began to ran our laps. We listened to music while running the laps to help get motivated. At the end we gave out the energy awards and did some cheers. We also found GOTR sunflower sunglasses that one of the girls was wearing as a "prize" for staying motivated the whole time to do her laps.]]> 2023-05-24 03:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/23riseberge/bb2x8qftoabuhtqi/wish/2602656774
