Week of November 14

This week I tried something a little different with the 4's class....

We warmed up and stretched a bit to start   :-)





A few friends said that this stretch felt really good!




I told the kiddos that we were going to play a game with a hula hoop. I told the friends that we all need to hold hands and move the hula hoop from person to person







They did a really good job with this game! 



It was cool to see them talking things out, problem soliving and working together!




We ended with a guided meditation called "The Angry Octopus"  on our "Indigo Ocean Dreams" CD
This guided meditation talked about being in control of your body and feelings. We practiced tightening and releasing our muscle groups one at a time to promote relaxation  :-)
I heard many of the friends taking deep breaths along with the CD....



 The 3's Class is swinging their arms like monkeys!




Penguin waddling!  "waddle waddle waddle"

We can swim like fish too!



BOOM  BOOM BOOM   We are using our big muscles to stomp like elephants!

Kangaroo kicks!
That's an amazing kick Avery!

Balloon breathing is lots of fun!  Especially when we do the big "pop!" at the end!






Connor had so much fun in his 1st yoga class with us!


Great bird pose Logan!   
Hey Arthur!
Looking good Louie!






Lucas is being a little tree!

Nice tree pose Bennett  :-)



We ended by belly breathing with our stars  :-)







Love all the smiles!






Norah was pretending she was sleeping!  
Scarlett is showing Miss Dahlia her star  :-)
Toddlers  :-)

I brought the breathing stars in for the toddlers to explore.....
Kingston kept saying "STAR"   it was really cute!
Sienna really liked the stars!

Hi Mikey   :-)
Katherine enjoyed carrying around lots of stars  :-)



I put a star in Eli's head  :-)











Charlie is holding lots of stars!


We tried some alligator chomps!






"Soo Big!"



Sienna, Payton, and Kylie are all holding animal action cards  :-)

The 2's Friends 
Joey kept hearing a snow plow outside   :-)
We started with a few breathing exercises....
We are "stretching out our balloons" before blowing them up  :-)

Ellie's balloon is really big!

Quinton was doing some "drain breathing"  :-)

I gave each child a different animal action card...

Each child got a turn to show their animal, and we all practiced the action together!





Remy is bear crawling!
Stella is doing kangaroo kicks!

Miss Miranda is waddling like a penguin!





Frog jumping is so much fun!
