transition [trænˈzɪʃən]

n

1. change or passage from one state or stage to another

We've completed that challenging first week back - leaving behind our 'vacation mode' to embrace the responsibilities of our school life. Not an easy transition! I've heard over and over this week, "I'm still trying to get my feet on the ground." "I'm working to get my feet underneath me." "I'm trying to hit the ground running, but my feet aren't with me"....

So...

Have you got your feet back on the ground?

Or are your feet dreaming about sunny days?

 Or perhaps you are feeling more kicked back and relaxed?

Better yet, maybe you have happy feet?!

Maybe your feet need company?

Perhaps your feet are ready for the great outdoors!

Or perhaps you have tired feet this week?

Likely, you have sleepy feet that are looking forward to some quiet time this weekend!

Check out what Hanni's Crew did over the holiday break participating in random acts of kindness.  So cool to practice beneficence out in the community! Great example of meaningful and purposeful learning!

That's all folks!

Short is definitely sweet right now.

My feet are headed to the fireside!
