Scaredy Squirrel has only one strategy in his tool box to use when he is scared , anxious or worried- he plays dead. For a LONG time. He misses out on so much fun and adventure. So, we decided to teach him about the breathing sphere. It has been our breathing anchor as we are learning to place our attention on our breathing. It is in our Calm down place, Quiet Island. The children have been practicing using the sphere and pin wheels to breath slowly. They quickly noticed that this helps calm their minds and bodies down. The sphere is one of the students favorite tools to hold and use so far. For the video below , the children practiced and then volunteered to teach Scaredy Squirrel how to use the sphere. Enjoy the wisdom of Room 15 teachers. |
