    Ms. Laurel visited our classroom today for Yoga!  We had a great time singing (of course) Tick Tock Little Yoga Clock.  The kids FAVORITE song and yoga pose of all times!  They worked on all of their animals poses and learned the new Chair Pose.  The kids have loved using the new yoga mats and all the new songs Ms. Laurel has introduced this year during yoga!

  • We Love our New Yoga Mats!

    We started using our new Yoga mats this week and we love them!  Children can gain enormous benefits from yoga.  Our yoga program encourages children to be children. This is so very important in the academic world we live in today.  During yoga class they have the opportunity to imitate animals and nature through music and movement.  Children love to use their imaginations, create and explore. Yoga gives them an opportunity to use their imaginations as they relax, play and dance.  It also encourages their natural abilities and interests, while helping them to develop strength, flexibility and an overall sense of well being.
