Review of safety and class rules, Namaste meaning, new poses and review, yoga games:
New poses: shooting star (created by Anna); penguin walk (created by Anna); tree to airplane. Discussion of class rules for safety and respect of one another, tying in with meaning of Namaste. Practiced mountain/volcano, shooting star, bow pose and tree to airplane (new). Quinn suggested "Dare" game, so we tied in yoga poses to challenges each person presented. We then did some hoop practice and "diving" through the hoops. Class ended with "corpse pose" for relaxation and a Namaste to each other.

Quinn and Anna took a learning style test today. Anna test showed that she learns through nature and pictures. Quinn learns through body movement. We also videoed oral reading for our time capsule.

It was so nice to meet Anna and Quinn today. Today, we began working on Envision lesson 1-1. This lesson focused on understanding place value. We started our lesson by learning what each place value block looks like and the value that each block represented. Then, Anna and Quinn practiced writing the value of each number in a place value chart. We talked about different ways that we can write a number. I introduced the vocabulary words: standard form, expanded form and word form. Anna and Quinn used their whiteboards (place value charts) to practice writing a given number in each of these forms. They each completed the interactive learning sheet for lesson 1-1. In this exercise they each showed given numbers in the different forms. We played a game called Toss and Talk. This game allowed them to practice converting numbers into different forms. They really seemed to enjoy this game. We finished our class by reviewing tonight’s homework. In the last 3 minutes of class, Anna and Quinn worked on a Mad Minute addition worksheet.

Yoga in lieu of science: Anna and Quinn helped me get the dojo ready and cleared out. We then talked about plans for yoga class this year. We listed what Anna and Quinn liked best from the previous year. We also talked about our "Back to School yoga" project that we will start soon. We reviewed some standing poses today and some arm and leg movements. Anna and Quinn listened well today and were very helpful with getting the room set up.

We made a time capsule. Anna and Quinn answered questions about themselves and we sealed them in a time capsule to be opened at the end of the year.
