Day One: Activating Prior Knowledge, Building Knowledge (making connections, oral language focus)
- What do you think of when you hear the word "yoga"?
- Discuss: who knows about yoga? what do you know about it?
- What is the girl doing in the picture (on the cover)?
- Why is she sitting like this?
- What could she be thinking?
- Can you sit like this? (have children try the yoga pose)
Day Three: Vocabulary Development
- yoga
- imagine
- soar
- stand up
- relax/calm
Day Four: Higher Order Questioning (asking, discussing, reflecting - between the line questions)
- "I feel so small in a world so big" - what does that mean to you?
- How can you "make room in your mind or your heart"?
- Yoga: set up mats, provide pictures or book as reference (music)
- Take photos of children doing yoga (encourage writing or discussion about how it makes them feel)
- Draw a picture of "what your mind looks like when your mind is not quiet or your wiggling body can't be still"
- Cosmic Yoga (youtube)
