The Owls began their morning off with Choice Time. Friends were able to choose between making beautiful flower arrangements, building luxurious magnatile buildings, painting and drawing flowers and gardening tools to finish up our back wall and books.
After Choice Time the Owls had a special visitor, Courtney, Lily's mom. Courtney came in to have a yoga class with friends. Courtney began yoga class by explaining to friends what yoga means. Ask your Owl if they remember what three areas of your body yoga focuses on.
Next, Courtney introduced us to a book that she wrote that included different yoga positions as well as two friendly characters. The two main characters are the Catbirds' Guinea Pigs, Popcorn and Princess Froggy. Legend has it that at night, when all the friends leave school, Popcorn and Princess Froggy go on exciting adventures. Before reading the story, Courtney taught friends 6 different yoga positions that they will hear about in the book, and when they do hear the position, they have to "leap" into position. Friends learned Sukhasana, Guinea Pig, Frog, Turtle, Mountain and Tree. See if your Owl can recreate and teach you the different positions they learned.
The Owls did a such an "OWL-tastic" job following along and positioning our bodies along with the story that Courtney will be coming back the next couple Tuesdays to work with us and build on our yoga skills. Friends can not wait to see what positions we will be learning next and the characters that go along with them.
After Yoga friends headed off to Spanish class with Alicia. Today the Owls traveled to Ecuador where they continued to learn how to pronounce the different parts of a flower and the different modes of transportation in Spanish. Ask your Owl if they remember how we traveled to Ecuador.
Friends wrapped up their morning by heading outside to enjoy thy beautiful weather!
