Feelin' Foxy

 "Feelin' Foxy" and it's not even Friday!

Pretend to be a fox with your body! Build abdominal and lower back strength with this spinal balance challenge! Because you are working on balance, you can improve focus and coordination skills too.  Begin with your knees under your hips and hands under shoulders.  Extend one arm in front of you.  If you feel balanced, extend the opposite side leg, pressing through the heel.  Squeeze your tummy and welcome the wobble!!  If you'd like to strengthen one arm and one leg at time to build strength and save putting it together for later, that'll work!  Make sure you work the opposite arm and leg as well. You too can feel foxy on a Monday (or any day)!🦊 #mrsbroamhats #mrsbroamMOVES

The POWER of Sleep

Thank you for sharing your family with Family Yoga at PHES!  We learned about the power of a good night's rest and how it helps you fuel up to perform your Lexington District One POWER SKILLS every day!  The Sleep Foundations recommends 9-11 hours of rest each night for Pleasant Hill Elementary Cougars.  Sleep gives you energy, provides time for healing and GROWTH!

We took deep breaths to begin!

Then we warmed our bodies

  by moving like the sun

and moon!

Next we read and moved with a good book!  It was tricky to find the right bed . . .

When the pig went to bed, the cow was in was in pig's pen, but then . . .

 the hen was in the cow's bed??!

The horse was in the chicken coop??!

The sheep was in the horse's stall . . .

After finding the right bed and resting well, we had energy to work our POWER SKILLS!

We PERSEVERED to twist a Warrior 1 Pose.

Working a boat with a partner or a seesaw . . .

provided opportunity to practice COLLABORATION and INTERPERSONAL SKILLS.

WHOO! WHOO! The hoot of owls means evening and bedtime.

Time to rest!

"It's time for bed, little mouse, little mouse.  Darkness is falling all over the house."

"Namaste is what we say to the good in you from the good in me!"

You can nibble cookies to think about the phases of the moon.🌚🌛🌜🌝

We packed the Nilla Wafers to go to extend the lesson at home!🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌚 #welovePHESfamilyyoga💛💚

Mindfulness vs. Monkey Friends

Monkey Friends are too wild and crazy!  They have trouble keeping their hands (and tails) to themselves.  They often hurt others, but never ever mean to . . . Monkey Friends, take a deep breath, s-l-o-w down, and be more mindful of what you say and do! #monkeyfriends #animalfriends #teddybearfriends #mrsbroamhats

Hip-HIPPO-ray!

Are you the "hippo with the block" or the "crocodile who dances uphill?" What do you need to let go?  How can you help a friend today?

"Some people think that friends are always happy.   Well that's not true - friends often have hard times and sad times.   But friends can come together again and again and build a stronger and stronger friendship between each other."~Mister Rogers
