Breaking Out of Comfort Zone
9/15/2017
At PNA, we encourage students to take risks and have the courage to step out of their comfort zone. We help students manage transitions by developing routines and allowing them to make mistakes. We provide opportunities where students can step out of their comfort zone and realize that everything is going to be okay. Third grade went on a hike with fourth and fifth graders this week. It was windy and chilly, it was definitely not the perfect weather to go on a hike! Students had to walk with a teacher and some kids from another class. They had to step out of their comfort zone by staying positive and engaging in conversations with people they just met. It was not easy but each student had a great time. Some of them said they enjoyed running up the hill. One of the kids had the best time finding bugs. A couple of kids shared they liked talking to the other kids. Although it was something new and challenging, every student came back to school with a smile on their face. It was a new experience and one step forward to becoming flexible and resilient.
