The first pack meeting today — the meeting two weeks ago was technically just a get-together, I suppose. The boys, as always, played Gaga ball afterward.

“This game hadn’t even been invented when we were kids,” one dad laughed as we watched them play.

Class today was excellent again. The main difference: like Tuesday, I tried a long, breathing-based mindfulness activity early in the lesson. Amazing how calm it made a bunch of otherwise-antsy kids.
