Over in kindergarten we are busy exploring feelings, learning how to express ourselves and get along together. For one of our first mindfulness activities of the year the kindergarteners created a class “happy jar.” We each took turns thinking of things, people and places that made us really happy and then we shook some very pink glitter into a big glass jar. By putting all our happy thoughts in the jar we created a visual reminder of all the things that bring us joy and something to turn to when we need to be reminded of them. The jar now sits in our peace corner to be used whenever someone needs a little cheering up!
