Give yourself grace. This is that time of year where everyone is hitting a wall- adults and kids. Take a moment and think about the last time you smiled or the last time you felt calm. What can you do to get those positive feelings back?

It’s career connections day in Mrs. Bitzer’s self regulation class! Today, we had a visit from Mr. Matt! Mr. Matt is a video game streamer and he talked all about how he needs to make sure his amygdala is calm in order to use his prefrontal cortex when playing video games. T…
