Visit from SAMI teachers and self-awareness

Some staff from SAMI (Science and Math Insitute) visited us today! We showed them around and answered their questions and they sat in on the freshman class. They participated in our relaxation exercises which really helped calm everyone down! :-) Then we talked about why plant-based foods are so good for us, especially those with more odor,flavor, and color. It's because the way they work in nature is how they work in your body! They keep away disease and bad stuff in nature because of their strong odor/color and they do that in your body too! Cool,huh?

The sophomores discussed self-awareness and understanding how our actions affect others. We talked about reflecting inward when something is not right with another person. Figure out if you are responsible for the negativity coming towards you. . .or not! We practiced this by talking about how it affects students when some one is hecka noisy during our quiet relaxation time. This led to the noisy culprits asking to be excused during quiet time. Yes! Way to take responsiblity! Hopefully next year they can actually stay in the classroom and sit quietly. Baby steps. . .
