This morning the children watched and participated in a YouTube Zen Den Yoga . I talked about the way that this activity (led by a woman in a very calm voice) can help us get into the green zone. The children acknowledged that calm breathing and turning the light off did help them feel calm and ready for the next part of our day.
During Fundations today, the Kindergarteners enjoyed working in "teams" to read a trick word, make up a sentence, and then act out the sentence. We also worked on writing rhyming words, noticing that the ending sound is always the same for word families.
We ended our day reading The Shape of Things. In this book , simple shapes are made into new things. The Kindergarteners then started to work on their page or pages to create our own class book based on the original.
