Exploring Creativity and Mindfulness in October with Lunch Bunch!

October was filled with seasonal magic and meaningful moments for our Lunch Bunch crew. Here's a look at some of the exciting activities and themes we explored together:

Seasonal Fun:

We embraced the wonders of fall and Halloween with hands-on activities that sparked creativity and joy:

• Pumpkin Counting and Potion Brewing: We practiced our counting skills while brewing potions, where we conjured up imaginative creations like spooky skateboards!

• Halloween Candy Collages: Using "magic corn" (our sticky crafting favorite), students created vibrant collages that celebrated Halloween.

Expressing Emotions Through Art:

Mindfulness took center stage this month as we began to focus on understanding and expressing feelings. Through drawing, the children explored how paying attention to their emotions can help them navigate their day.

Introducing Mindfulness and Meditation:

Incorporating mindfulness into daily activities has been a highlight. We’ve started discussions about the importance of breathing and meditation, encouraging the children to pause and connect with their emotions. One memorable activity was creating “breathing sticks,” a tool to help with mindful breathing practices.
