January 5, 2020 Happy New Year!

  • We began the new year by introducing the theme for 2020: Grounded in Love, Growing in Grace.  Have you tried to balance on one foot lately?  We did!  We felt the wobbles at first AND we felt the firmness in our bodies when both feet are solidly on the ground.  This helped us connect to what it means to be grounded, or rooted, in Love.  
  • The Book of the week: If you Plant a Seed, by Kadir Nelson. Check out this YouTube read aloud clip!
  • The book emphasizes that what you plant grows – a carrot seed into a carrot, a cabbage seed into cabbage…AND if you plant a seed of selfishness, it will grows into a mess of everyone grabbing and fighting.  IF we plant seeds of kindness, we will grow abundance, love, friendship and so much more. This year we look forward to exploring the different seasons, along with all the adults, just at our own pace.  

Coming up Next Week: We will be exploring the Power of Thought as we read a book, practice breathing meditation, and create a set of unique daily positive affirmation cards. Our book is I Think, I Am! by Louise Hay & Kristina Tracy.
