I hope you all had a wonderful, long weekend and are ready to “get back at it” today.

Physical Activity
Handouts: SUN A-B-C Yoga Flow
Today we will begin with a yoga practice from Kids Work It Out, then try a stuffed animal
workout with the whole family. Finish with a fun old-fashion game of monkey in the middle.

  1. Today’s yoga, the SUN ABC Yoga Flow, from the Kids Work It Out program takes
    students through a full traditional yoga warm-up practice that begins with the breath as a
    foundation, then uses breath to carry the body through three separate yoga flows meant
    to strengthen and ignite body, spirit and mind.

  3. Want a break from technology, try to involve everyone in your house with playing an old
    fashion game of Monkey in the middle.
    o You try to keep the ball away from one person while throwing it back and forth
    with your partner. If the person does get the ball, whoever threw it is now the
    monkey in the middle. No points, no winning, just keeping away.
