Friday Night Fun at School

So thankful to BEE a part of this special night!🐝

We made snowballs!❆

Then we made snowmen with the snowballs.⛄

"Hi, everyone, I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!"🤗

"There must have been some magic in that old, silk hat they found."🎩

"Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be."💓

"Frosty the Snowman knew the sun was hot that day."🌞

"Down to the village with the broomstick in his hand."🧹

"He led them down the streets of town, right to the traffic cop."👮

"And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler 'STOP!'"🚦

"Thumpety, thump, thump, thumpety, thump, thump, look at Frosty go."🥾👢🥾

"Thumpety, thump, thump, thumpety, thump, thump, over the hills of snow!"👢🥾👢

Problem-Solving Strategies -- (1) Nobody Gets Hurt (2) Nothing Gets Broken

Compromise -- "Not Your Way, Not My Way, OUR Way"

To RESET--all parties agree to a do over:  

Pretend to be the "reset button" in the downward dog position.

Then press the button to reset by strengthening in the plank. "BONK! BONK!"🔘

Apologizing is like putting a bandage on an "OWIE." It doesn't make the hurt go away, but it makes it feel better.🤕

Share -- one bicycle, two riders 🚲

"Daisy, Daisy . . . on a bicycle built for two!"

Take Turns -- like a seesaw, one person goes, then the other

Penguin was in a bad mood, and he didn't know why and he didn't care.  Yoga is one way you can lift your spirits!  Racing penguins🐧 is another:

Go, Penguins,

GO!🏁

We gave away 48 squishies to PHES Yogis!!🧘

Come to Family Wellness Night at PHES!

 Do you want to build a snowman?⛄

 To make a snowball, sit on your bum and gather your knees to your chest to squeeze the snowflakes together.❄  Then make the snowball bigger by rocking and rolling on your back body:

Rock and roll to standing to stack your snowballs!  Try not to use your hands as your stand to strengthen your tummy muscles.😛

Bend your knees, drop your hips, and circle your arms overhead!⛄

We will be building snowmen at PHES Family Wellness Night in the library!  Come 6:00-8:00 to learn about many ways to be healthy and strong in the new year.💛💚💛💚💛 Thank you for organizing, Becca Burriss! #ilovemyschool #mrsbroamhats #mrsbroamMOVES

Feelings Family #1

There are four feeling families!  Today we thought about "mad." 😡 "Mad"comes in different strengths:  mini-mad feelings like being frustrated or annoyed to deeper feelings like the Incredible Hulk kind of anger when you "blow your top!"  

Breathing helps you manage ALL feelings.  ALL feelings are okay to experience, even when the feelings are unpleasant and don't feel "okay" to feel.

We warmed up with the "flying cow" sequence ~

inhale -- Fly the Cow🐮

 exhale -- table pose, inhale -- traditional cow🐄

exhale -- child's pose

inhale -- Fly the Cow🐮

We practiced "Volcano" to express anger:

Press your hands together like bookends . . . 

This is the lava.  The lava pushes up through the mountain, and the mountain erupts!🌋

 Our yoga helps us to find our happy!😊

 We rested at the end of practice. 😴

Next week we'll learn another feeling family!😡😀😢😨
