Olly took the lead with the second grade class this past Tuesday, and started with a group meditation. We brought some Buddhist prayer items purchased by Kristin. Olly sat everyone down in front of him and showed them how to meditate. The kids were a little unfocused, but this was the first time most of them had meditated, so they were probably just self conscious. I believe that moving forward they’ll feel more comfortable with meditating and will benefit from starting each class with a moment of mindfulness.
Once we completed the meditation, Olly got them up and energized with a few rounds of “Baby Shark”. The kids loved it! Most of them were familiar with it already, and were excited to help Olly teach the moves to the rest of the class.
