Kindergarten prepares for the Winter Program with Yoga!

Snake pose
Our Winter Program this year will feature a collection of stories and fables with life lessons. 
The theme for kindergarten's portion of the program is emotions and learning how to stay calm in difficult situations. Each Lower School class will present a different story or fable for the show. Kindergarten's story is The Elephant and the Frog by Anthony Joseph. In the story, Elephant becomes very upset when he loses his yummy stick on which he was snacking.
 It is not until friendly frog helps to remind him to be still and stay calm, that he is able to calm down and see the stick right in front of him!

As part of their preparation for this year's Winter Program, we invited parent, Courtney Gable to come in and teach the kindergarten animal yoga poses. We will incorporate these poses into the movement portion of kindergarten's performance. Check out the photos from our great experience with Courtney!
