🌞🧠 Mental Health Summer Video Series 🧠🌞 Summer can be a season of fun, but it can also be one of anxiety without the structure of school. We suggest using the SEL methods to help curve some of those feelings. One way is to help your child name their feelings. Often, they say they're angry when they're actually bored or frustrated. Guide them with these steps: - How are you feeling? - What can you do about that? - What would make it better? Learn more from our school psychologist, Michelle Dorsey, in the video below. Stay tuned for more tips! #MentalHealthSummer #ParentingTips #SEL

Boogity, Boogity, Boogity...Let's Go Racing! 🏎️ Our students at Menta Academy Woodstock recently competed in an exciting Pinewood Derby to celebrate our "Wheels" summer transportation theme! They had a blast designing and building their cars and learned a lot about physics along the way. Our creative track design added to the excitement as students raced their unique vehicles. A HUGE shoutout to our artistic students for their amazing vehicle designs and to everyone who participated in making this event a success! #MentaAcademyWoodstock #PinewoodDerby #STEM #PhysicsFun #CreativeLearning #SummerActivities

Yesterday, our summer school students had an unforgettable day at Brookfield Zoo Chicago yesterday! They spent time with incredible animals like bison, slow-moving sloths, and vibrant aquatic life of all kinds. This field trip was really exciting for our students because it let everyone learn in a different environment and was the perfect blend of education and adventure. Thank you, Brookfield Zoo, for a fantastic experience! #MentaAcademyOakPark #SummerSchool #BrookfieldZooChicago #SummertimeFun #ZooFullofFun

MENTAl Health Video Series: Reducing Screen Time This Summer! 🌞 Screens can be a great tool in the summer months, but they are often overused and can even harm our children's health. We suggest limiting usage to an hour or two a day and jumping into other fun activities like audiobooks, outdoor fun, or board games. 📺 Watch our latest video for inspiration on how to unplug and thrive this summer! #ScreenFreeSummer #UnplugAndThrive #SummerWellness #OutdoorAdventures #MindfulLiving #QualityTime

What a great summer our transition students from Menta Academy Woodstock have had! This week, they tested the skills by going on a shopping trip to Walmart to practice social and consumer skills! They navigated the aisles, made purchases, and tried different payment methods. It was a great opportunity for them to build confidence in their abilities and learn important life skills. We're so proud of our students for taking on this challenge and showing their growing independence! #MentaAcademyWoodstockStudents #MentaAcademyWoodstock #TransitionSkills #MentaAcademy
