Mr. President Goes to School and Meets Power Skills

Take a deep breath to settle into our yoga practice!

We read Mr. President Goes to School by Rick Walton.🏫 What Power Skills are in this story?

Double Warrior encourages COLLABORATION with a yogi! In the story, the Prime Ministers and Mr. President COLLABORATE to solve the Sticks and Stones issue. They COLLABORATE to build a fort. How do you get along and work well with others?

Double Down Dog is another opportunity to COLLABORATE!

WILLINGNESS TO TAKE RISKS is trying NEW things!

Balancing Half Moon Pose challenges our risk taking!

Mr. President is WILLING TO TAKE RISKS when he invites the Prime Ministers to sit on the carpet, do the hokey pokey, and fingerpaint together.

We are trying NEW things in our yoga!

Balancing Half Moon Pose also provides the opportunity to PERSEVERE!! You can do hard things too.💪

After practicing more Power Skills . . .

we rested and

Hokey Pokey-ed!

Tuning In to be POWERful EVERY DAY, "that's what it's all about!"🎶

Presidents Day Revisited

President Taft had a cow named Pauline Wayne!🐮

We warmed up with the flying cow sequence in honor of Pauline Wayne. We explored many MOO-rvelous facts about the presidents while yogaing today.🐄

We worked the Triangle Pose to illustrate (1) George Washington, "Father of Our Country" and (2) how Abraham Lincoln lived in a log cabin

We put our feet together and massaged the soles like opening the covers of a book and reading the pages! Abraham Lincoln taught himself to read!📖

Here are our multiplication tables! George Washington like arithmetic.

The U.S. President travels on Air Force One.

Here we are as the Cherry Blossoms in bloom on the Potomac in Washington, D.C.

Here we are rolling Easter Eggs on the White House South Lawn!

Here we as the White House Rose Garden!🌹

We rested and further explored Washington, D.C. in our imaginations! Some shared going back in time and playing with President Roosevelt's guinea pigs.😊

We capped off our adventure with a game in the White House Bowling Alley.🎳 Our Presidential Practice was PERFECT.🧘

Heart Bubbles

"I have heart bubbles. These bubbles are full of my caring for others . . . These bubbles are compassion. Compassion is when we notice hurt and want to help."
