I can’t wait to try the painted stone labyrinth! I love that you added this unit to time, it’s another way to teach such a complex idea. I feel like this activity would involve a very thoughtful process, it’s always great when we can get our students to slow down and really take care in their work. We talk about breathing and take deep breaths often during our school day, this plays into that idea so perfectly.
Yea! Very cool to connect this with breathing. Can’t wait to see your painted stone labryinth. 🙂
I love the idea of having the students create a labyrinth! My students love to collect stones, and it would be a great thing for them to work together. We have talked about mindfulness quite a bit in our room, so this would be a great way to put this into practice.
I’m also inspired by the idea of the “Noticing Walk.” Often in class we do timed movement breaks that gets the students out of their seats and moving! I’m thinking that having a timed walk outside would also do the trick! I have a story in my classroom called “The Listening Walk” that I think could tie in nicely to this idea. My students could practice mindfulness while also gaining a better understanding of what time passing feels like. We could start with timer at 5 minutes and then see if we could do a longer time outside another time. When we return to the room, the students could also journal about what they heard and noticed. We could use a sentence starter like, “During my 5 minute Noticing Walk, I heard/saw …”
Whenever we do anything time, I like to let my students know when we have reached the “one minute warning” time. That way, they know that things are about to wrap up! I think this could be used during the walk as well. Looking forward to it!
So many great ideas! I love how one idea can evolve into so many new ideas. I also really love how you are adapting ideas to fit what you are already doing in your classroom. Such lucky children.
A labyrinth would be wonderfully fun to create in the snow. Think I m8ght start small in the classroom and take to the garden.
What a fabulous idea! I never thought of doing it in the snow. I love that you are thinking about extending this activity and starting small in the classroom. Children can make miniature Labyrinths and then move outdoors. Fun! Take pictures. I can’t wait to see. 🙂
