I used this story in my kindergarten and 1st grade Wellness Classes. Everyone loved the colorful illustrations and story, as I projected it on the smartboard. Students of all abilities looked at the image of yoga pose or watched me and worked through each movement carefully. After reading we discussed the stories rich words, adjectives and sensory experience. We closed our class with making a mug of hot cocoa craft to use for mindful hot cocoa breathing.
I loved this experience.
It was the first time I used a yoga story for whole group teaching and it was easier than I imagined it would be. It truly kept student interest and focus.
Thank you for this wonderful story!
