Here are the Stonehedge Weekly Shoutouts
Poem In Your Pocket!
Click here to check out this video in honor of Poetry Week!
Next Thursday, April 30th is National Poem in Your Pocket Day. Usually, Stonehedge would be celebrating by encouraging staff and students to find a poem they like, put it in a pocket, and share it with as many people as possible during the day. And some years, we’ve even held “Poetrypalooza”, an open mic poetry night. This year, we obviously can’t do things the traditional way, but we have a fun alternative. Check out next week’s library lesson on the WG Learning Portal Page for an opportunity to explore fun poems and then share them via Flipgrid (which is really fun and easy to use). Together we’ll have a virtual Poem in Your Pocket Day that we can share with all of the elementary schools of West Genesee!

P2 Character Strength: Purpose and Connection
This strength gives us the sense that we are connected with others and our world. People who possess a sense of purpose believe that they were put on earth for a reason. Having the strength of purpose can show in a variety of ways: friendships, the joy of music or evening raising others to be good people. Those that possess this strength have a true calling. Brene Brown is someone who is new to me. I found her podcast, the Unlocking us podcast, during this closure. She is very relatable and her words have helped me to find purpose during these difficult times. Maybe you will check her out??? (The podcast is an adult thing... the kiddos won't have any interest!)
