Hi Fran and all, It's so good to hear of your intentions and how you've integrated the recent on-going dialogue.
I think it's great to try the 21 days of challenge, I thought about it myself. Some practices might require to be changed/adapted to the circumstances, but I'm sure students' imagination and creativity will be stimulated in this way.
I'm also thinking of leaving some space where the students come up with suggestions on how we can best spend our time together. In this way, I hope, they will take ownership and feel empowered by their collective decision.
We've also recently announced a mindfulness-based resilience workshop for the parents of our community, as many of them took on new and difficult roles since they and their children are at home all the time.
Fran, you might be interested in this webinar. It's facilitated by Emory University has Elaine Miller-Karas from the Trauma Resource Institute as guest speaker. They will tackle most of the same issues we are discussing here.
Hope you find this helpful. You're doing a wonderful thing for your students. Thank you for keeping this dialogue going!
