This week we did yoga. Miss Carrie turned on some soft yoga music and then read the book Roar Like A Lion And Other Fun Yoga Poses by Taeeun Yoo.
Everyone followed along with the book and tried to do the poses. Then we figured out ways we could do the pose a different way. We used quiet voices to sound like dogs, cats, frogs, snakes, and lions. In between poses, we sat on the rug with our legs crossed, hands on knees, and practiced breathing in through our noses and out through our mouths.
Miss Carrie talked about calm bodies. If our bodies weren't calm, if we were feeling mad, or sad, or anxious, or worried, or frustrated, we could breathe in through our noses and out through our mouths to help our bodies calm down. We could ask a teacher to help us. We could go to the book area in the room and work on calming our bodies there.
DO THIS AT HOME: try some yoga. Talk about what you are doing with your body. Have your child take the lead and see what other pose they can come up with.
