Home of the Break Buddies Program:

Break Buddies is a self-regulation program for students in kindergarten through grade 8, and is a unique initiative here at Woodman.

Primary aged students are paired up with students from an older grade and meet twice a week.  During these times, buddies will spend 10-15 minutes reading a short story about feelings, learning and practising a breathing/calm down strategy, then choosing an activity to do together such as building with Lego, magna-tiles, or board game.

This is the third year of the Break Buddies program here at Woodman.  We have observed so much growth and positive relationship building as a result of this mentorship program.  Our Wolves are building leadership skills, succeeding, and finding connection because of this program.
