Mohawks for Nighthawks!Hello Nighthawks and Friends! How are you? Healthy and physically active I trust! I know that we have talked a lot about community building at school. Now there has been a new focus on community building as we navigate and try to figure out how we are going to stay connected and be together as we learn from home. There are many new ways for us to stay connected and continue to build on the learning community we already established at Osoyoos Elementary. We have Team chats & assignments, zoom meetings, face time, websites, YouTube channels and even this blog as tools to continue to stay connected and supportive of each other during this challenging time! Mr. Murphy has create his own YouTube Channel to keep is connections with the wonderful students and staff at our school. Checkout his page on our Nighthawk PHE site by clicking on Media and then Mr. Murphy or click on the button below for his videos and a link to his YouTube channel! I have also take advantage of this time to convince Mrs. Miller that I need a mohawk and she needs to cut it! Reeanne has helped out by recording the hair cut so we can share it with our Nighthawk community! Leave a comment below about how well you think Mrs. Miller did cutting my hair and any other suggestions you might have for building our Nighthawk Community! Take care, stay healthy and be physically active!

Hello Nighthawks and Friends!
I hope this note finds you well and staying active! Do you remember the importance of community and how it plays an important role in our learning at Osoyoos Elementary? In order to create a learning environment, we need a group of like minded people to come together to build a community in our school and classrooms. Especially now with distance learning we have to find new and creative ways to build community and stay connect. Thank you to Ms. Dvorack, Mr. Lewis and the rest of the Nighthawk staff for working to create that community with our Spirit Days! I hope everyone had a chance to submit their Nighthawk/Red shirt photo for last weeks Spirit day. The photos can be seen if you go to our school website https://ose.sd53.bc.ca/ click on our school, then OSE FaceBook. Once on the Facebook page you click on the Sharing Link Validation on the April 24 post and use the password nighthawks to sign in and see the slide show. This weeks Spirit Day photo challenge is to take a picture in your favorite PJ's! I struggle with typing in the right email to send the pictures to ([email protected]) so my photo didn't make it. Mr. Miller continues to work on his technology skills! My photos are below. Stay active and healthy everyone! Hello Nighthawks and Visitors!
Happy Friday! It's Friday right, I think? Happy today! How are you? Staying healthy? How about finding time to be physically active during the day? Leave me a comment about what you have been doing to fire up your heart rate and put a sweat on your body! I was able to squeeze in a spin bike ride this morning! I am pretty luck to have some exercise equipment in the basement but I probably enjoy going out for a walk with my family and dogs the most! No equipment or gym membership needed! Remember to stay safe and socially distant when walking or doing activities outside! Stay healthy and be physically active everyone! Hello Nighthawks and Visitors! I hope this note finds you healthy and staying physically active! For at least 60 minutes a day! Well my producer (Reeanne Miller) is quite a stern task-master. I thought I would take the day off yesterday from making a video and that was not to be. I was inspired by the four week strength program I have been following with Mrs. Miller! We had a fantastic leg workout on Thursday morning and it made me think of how easy we can complete some body squats to improve our leg strength. No equipment necessary! Please watch the video for proper form when doing your squats as it is important for safety and strength building. We also discussed how easy it is to add weight with every day items found around the house! Remember to continue working on your physical literacy at home Nighthawks! Hello Nighthawks and Visitors! I hope this note finds everyone well and staying physical active! Happy Earth Day and congratulation on Earth Day's 50th anniversary! What a beautiful day here in Osoyoos with the much needed rain! We had a great walk outside for our lunch break. It smelled so fresh in the rain and I am looking forward to these April showers bringing May flowers and greening up our desert for a brief time! “The Earth will not continue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship. We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations.” —John Paul II Let's continue to work on looking after our Environment to the best of our abilities. It is up to each of us to do our part. With proper stewardship and care of the Earth we will be able to enjoy the benefits of nature today and for future generations! “One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between man and nature shall not be broken.” — Leo Tolstoy As we explore wellness through remote learning, looking back to lessons we have already discussed at Osoyoos Elementary and into the future when we are back at school, we need to remember that the evidence is overwhelming in favor of more time spent in nature! Nature does wonders for our overall well-being and mental health. Let's look after nature so it can continue to look after us! Please leave a comment about your actions for Earth Day or send a picture or video to [email protected]. Take care, stay healthy and be active, Mr. Miller Well, here we go on Miller Time YouTube channel. Posted my first video after our lunch hour walk! Hope you enjoy it! Mr. Miller Feel free to follow my Miller Time YouTube channel and make suggestions in the comments about what sorts of activities you would like to see on my channel! Make sure to keep it reasonable, I don't want one of my rebuilt or artificial hips to quit and my leg falls off! When we think about mindfulness, there is a strong connection with calm brains and time spent in nature. Makes me wonder how we can spend more time outside, in nature, especially during this time of social distancing? Along with spending more time in nature, tomorrow is Earth day. It is an opportunity to do something kind for the Earth and be physically active in our beautiful, South Okanagan environment!
I enjoy noon walks with my daughter and our two dogs. While out and about we pick up garbage to keep our community and environment clean. We use hand sanitizer to clean our hands and wash our hands for a least 20 seconds if not more when we return home. What can you do to help the Earth tomorrow? Maybe we can make it a year long commitment? Leave a comment with your ideas! I saw the following comment on the Daily Kind #1065:
Today I am KIND! I am one piece of a puzzle that creates the world. My job is to do my part to make the world a great place. I thought this was an important message during this challenging time. We can all make mistakes from time to time but what we do to make them right is very important. We also need to remember we can not control others but are responsible for our own attitude and effort! If we do are part to be kind and respectful, together with all the other people who are doing the same, we can make a positive difference in our world!
