Tumbling at Frog Song

February 7, 2016 by Claire Lundy

Kakumyo, a monk and senior priest at Dharma Rain, came into our classroom last Thursday to introduce the children to tumbling! The children were so excited, they could barely contain it. Especially when he shared that he will be coming every Thursday morning!

Thank you Kakumyo! We’ll see you next week!

Independence on the Rise!

February 7, 2016 by Claire Lundy

As the children have taken on independence in the classroom their confidence and autonomy has flourished. In order to continue to support their independence we strive to give them the skills they need to be patrons of their daily lives in the classroom. Here is a glimpse into what that looks like…

When all of the art mats are dirty and you want to do water colors, it’s time to wash a mat!

When you are finished with your lunch plate, why not just go ahead and wash it!

When you’re hungry, serve yourself some snack!

When your boots are dirty, scrub them clean!

And when it’s time to go home…

…change your shoes…

The children at Frog Song have been overjoyed by some of the new activities that we have added to the classroom in the last few weeks! With the social climate of our classroom continually on the rise, these activities have met the children’s energy and supported their social ambitions. They include…

Coffee Grinding

Coffee Making

Which they serve to the teachers and the monks working on the other side of Uji!

and… Tea Making

Which they can offer to their friends in the classroom!

It has been fun to see the children’s excitement and observe the endless positive social interactions that have transpired in response to these activities!
