Sharing Ideas Big and Small
Posted by Janice ShannonThe PreK-3 class was excited to visit the seventh graders to share a mindfulness activity designed to find an inner calm. First we were quiet, and then began by pouring water from a pitcher very slowly (which took practice) so we could focus on our sense of hearing. Then we put one drop of food coloring in the water vase to create a one of a kind visualization as we watched the color disperse in many directions. Once we were all feeling more calm and peaceful, PreK-3 students then paired up with the seventh graders to have a discussion about the painting “The Scream” by Edvard Munch. Specifically, the students talked about how the painting made them feel. How interesting that the younger children saw it as a happy picture because of all the bright colors while the older children described sadness and fright. Perhaps it could be that a three year old has not quite felt being frightened or scared yet. What do you think?
