Wow, time certainly flies when you're having fun! The first two weeks have flown by. Old friends were reunited and new friendships have been made.
Our second and third year students settled right in to the classroom routines. They have been great models for the younger friends to learn the ground rules and routines of our days together. We are learning grace and courtesy. We practiced interrupting a teacher or friend politely by putting a hand on his/her shoulder. We practiced bathroom etiquette (knock before you enter, one friend at a time, flush, wash your hands, and turn off the light). We practiced taking a work mat out, carefully unrolling it and smoothing it on the floor. We practiced walking around the work mats so we can be safe with the materials and respect our friends work. We are very eager to learn from all of the materials!

This week we had music on Tuesday with Mr. Andrew. We sang a few songs that the class learned last year, including our favorite, the "Crawdad song". We are also learning to sing "Sing Peace Around the World." We will sing this song after the school wide peace walk to celebrate the International Day of Peace. We started yoga on Wednesday afternoon. We had yoga outside on the playground and began with quiet meditation, followed by learning mountain, down dog, and tree pose. Lastly we had free pose-the children can show a pose that they created or share a traditional pose that they have learned.
