Instructor Reflection:
At Fishtown, we decided to start the day with relaxation and meditation led by Mr. Olly. The kids gathered on the carpet while listening to soft music and they listened very well to the instructions given to them. Closing their eyes and inhaling deeply we watched them calm down and just try and listen to what was going on around them. After meditating, Mr. Olly had a new dance and song for the kids to learn called the Tooty Ta! The song had a catchy jingle and funny dance moves to follow along to; they enjoyed it so much we played it one more time because they thought it was so funny.
After meditation and dancing we began our art class by finishing off our “draw the alphabet” project! The kids learned the letters V to Z. Whoever was picked got to draw a picture of an object that began with the assigned letter. While one child would draw next to the letter, I would proceed to ask the rest of the class what other words started with that letter. That’s when I realized excited they were to show off what they know. They would all gather around me with hands raised, eager to figure out a word they knew! When we finished off the alphabet, that’s when we started our project: spring bunnies! Each child was allowed to make the bunny whatever they wanted, many choosing to make the bunny a superhero with a cape.
