Our Farm Trip and Mindfulness in the Classroom

What fun we had at Rodger's Farm on Monday! We loved having so many parents join us for a fun morning together. The girls loved seeing the baby pigs, walking the corn maze, and playing on the hay bales. Enjoy some pictures below!

This week we have been learning about mindfulness in the classroom. The girls are learning how to be mindful of their peers as well as mindful of their own bodies - what they feel, hear, and smell around them. We have even done some mindful eating to truly taste and enjoy our food!

Each morning this week we began our calendar time with a mindfulness activity. The girls lie down in their own space, we turn off the lights, and they listen to the ringing of a bell or a quiet song. The purpose of this activity is to get them ready for the day and aware of their surroundings.

After the activity we ask the girls how they felt during this time. A few of the words they came up with include:

proud

compassionate

smart

comfortable

peaceful

resilient

mindful

happy

relaxed

alone

We can't wait for our Halloween parade and party tomorrow!
