Fruity on Wednesday

I'm going back to school to learn how to improve my work with students in kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades!  Last night I read in my text book:  

Kind hearts, the garden;
Kind thoughts, the root;

Kind words, the blossoms; 

Kind deeds, the fruit.

Students who can express kindness are happier and more productive in the classroom. p. 20, George S. Morrison’s Early Childhood Education Today

How does your garden grown on Wednesday?   

Here's how to be a banana with your body:  

ROOT your feet and s-t-r-e-t-c-h your arms over head.  Circle your fingers around the opposite wrist and s-t-r-e-t-c-h up and over.  Keep the chest open and create space in the side body so you can breathe better and be more ready for whatever you've got to do next.  If your strengthen the muscles in the fingers,  you'll feel more of a s-t-r-e-t-c-h.  Try it on the other side! 

If you want to SING about bananas, try this song:

It's one of Mrs. Broam's favs.  :-)

Be FRUITY on Wednesday!
