Activities and resources for March 30 - April 3rd

Happy Friday to all our friends!!

We thought you might like to know that while you have been learning at home, we have also been learning at home! We did not know how to use Google classroom so we have been participating in many tutorials at our "home offices" to learn how we can share fun things with you during this time when our schools are closed. Unfortunately that has meant we spend a lot of time on our computers, and that is quite exhausting (even though we are sitting). If you have that same feeling, then a great idea is to make sure that you are taking breaks and doing something active. Below we are including more links to some daily yoga activities (the first set of links was in our blog post on 3/25). 

Daily Yoga activities for this week!!

Lisa Flynn, the founder and CEO of Yoga 4 Classrooms, has made a very generous offer to help support us during this most trying time. She has offered a Mindful Activity of the Day option free of charge to help keep us grounded and healthy. Her only request is that she is properly credited with the material.

Here are the links for the activities shared so far:

Day #6: Warrior series of poses

Day #7: Magic Massage

Day #8: Tree Pose

Day #9: Power Breath

Day #10: Gratitude relaxation

Taking some walks outside is also a good way to get some fresh air and exercise! Here is a link to taking a mindful walk from Cosmic kids zen den, and a great visual to remind you of some of the things to look for when you are walking!

Mindful Walking

Go outside and take a slow, mindful walk. During your walk use your senses….

Touch/feel

   

Finally, Here is another great link we found for some nature activities from Mass Audubon (click here)!  Check out the "bird of the day" videos, Nature Bingo game, the nature activity sheets and maybe the neighborhood scavenger hunt (just keep you physical distance, and do this with a grownup).
