The preschoolers have been exploring all kinds of ways to relax at the end of our busy school day. Allowing a little mind to calm down and unwind is an important skill. We read stories, talk about our day, stretch our bodies, meditate, or practice yoga poses. Yoga Relaxation is a wonderful way for children to experience movement with their bodies and connect with their peers. Look at the preschoolers practicing their balance poses!
Namaste!
Today our preschoolers explored and discovered triangles in all kinds of ways! We first learned about the shape during groups. Click on the first picture to watch The Shapes Song with your preschool.
Next we counted the sides of a triangle. We used triangle shaped sponges as stamps.
During Yoga Relaxation today we used our bodies to practice Triangle Pose. Integrating new skills and knowledge with any physical activity is a really fun way to help preschoolers memory.
Yoga Kids by Marsha Wenig is a great book for guiding preschoolers through poses and relaxation. A lot of our daily yoga relaxation is based off the fun ideas in this book.
Today we stretched our bodies while channeling our inner surfer! We pretended to ride the waves of Hawaii.
Ask your preschooler to teach you Bunny Breath, you will be sure to see a very scrunched up nose! This is how we get oxygen to our brains to help us during yoga.
Namaste!
Welcome to Preschool! We have been working on procedures, routines, and adjusting to the new classroom environment.
Every morning, we answer our Question of the Day on the smartboard before choosing a center for free choice.
The rain may have kept us indoors but the weather didn’t stop our fun! We worked on our gross motor inside on the balance beam and slide.
During small groups we practiced how to hold our crayon with our thumb and pointer fingers pinching the top of the crayon. We learned about and traced circles while strengthening our fine motor muscles.
Also during small groups we explored our Handwriting Without Tears program.
At the end of our morning we stretched our bodies and relaxed our minds during yoga. What pose was your favorite??
