We had a fun-filled week exploring songwriting, percussion, movement, puppetry, art, poetry and sense meditation in nature. Our inspiring students have displayed so much creativity and willingness to explore.
🌲 NATURE CONNECTION
Sensory awareness is happening--as expressed with Sitting Spot stories as well as the creation of beautiful group poems and painted rocks.
The seeds of inspiration from Nature-Our-Muse have been planted. We are hearing beautiful stories about connecting with nature from Sitting Spots.

🎭 PUPPETRY
We have explored shadow puppetry concepts and delved into creating a world of characters with sock and bag puppets.

🎨 ART
Painting and the connection to set design and backdrops have been made while exploring the shapes and textures and the rhythms of nature with colors and paintbrushes and other art materials.
👐MOVEMENT
Integrating all of these experiences into our bodies with sound and movement has been centering, relaxing, refreshing and soothing.

🎸SONGWRITING AND PERCUSSION
Learning about songwriting has been exciting---opening the door to learning about rhyming and expressing one's ideas with poetry and music---as well as percussion!
Playing around with creating sounds with handmade instruments and found objects has also been great fun.
