It turned out to be a lesson in appreciation and presence for the mama as well… read about it here.ġ1. We went outside and listed the things in nature that are beautiful, and talked about how appreciating nature can help us calm down and feel in awe of creation even when we are upset. I put on a puppet show for the boys to help them see the importance of practicing self-confidence. See our craft and read about our conversation about diversity appreciation here.ĩ. We discussed the beauty that can be found in diversity by making a mobile of many colors. Find out about what sun, rain, and roots can represent here.Ĩ. We learned the meaning of resilience through touching and observing the qualities of small plants and trees. You can read about our experience here.ħ. We used blocks and a trolley to discover how not practicing forgiveness slows us down in life. We used a puppet to review courteous etiquette when sick (ie covering mouths when sneezing, wiping nose with a tissue, etc). Our activity was an animal action game you can read about here.ĥ. We talked about how being enthusiastic helps us do activities (whether we like them or not) joyfully. We played a pictionary game to encourage each other to practice friendliness by sharing. We took an extra long walk to practice being determined and to think about how explorers had to practice the skill of determination.

We created a hand craft to make pledges and to learn about responsibility.
