<li>
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Everyone drink some water. Have your students imagine they are plants drinking the water. Imagine sucking the water up through your toes, with the water going all the way up your legs to your arms, fingers, and brain. </span><span style="color:#db1981;"><i><strong>Remember to drink the water slowly so it doesn't go out your roots too quickly.</strong></i></span><br> </li>
<li>
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Have your students rub the soft tissue area just below the collarbone (to the right and left of the sternum) for about 30 seconds. This brings blood to the brain.</span><br> </li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Get your students to alternately touch opposite hand to opposite knee, or right hand to left foot, followed by left hand to right foot. Students can be encouraged to kick their legs back and try touching opposite hand to opposite foot. These movements can be done sitting or standing, with eyes open or closed.</span></li>
</ol><p><span style="color:#db1981;"><strong>COOL DOWN</strong></span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">: Have your students sit with legs crossed. Then cross arms on chest, making an “X.” Students gently press their tongue to the roof of their mouth to relax their body and prepare their brain for easier learning.</span></p><p><br><a

Mindful Moment for Little Ones: Calming Activities for Kids
<p>Guest Post By Andrea Gibbs, Blog Contributor at <a class="no-pjax" href="https://nybabysteps.com/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">Baby Steps Preschool</a></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">As parents, we all want to provide our children with the best possible experiences in life. However, sometimes life can be overwhelming, even for kids. That's why teaching them coping strategies that help them manage their emotions and feelings is essential. Calming activities are an excellent way to help kids relax and regain their composure, especially when feeling anxious, stressed, or upset. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the best calming activities for kids that you can try at home or in the classroom. Whether it's mindfulness exercises, art therapy, or physical activities, these techniques can help your child feel more calm, centered, and in control of their emotions.</span></p><p> </p><p><span><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/352850/ed48a8ac0b968048fce12bd2b07c01398d03022b/original/image.png/!!/meta%3AeyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ%3D%3D.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="369" width="554" /></span></p><p> </p><h2 dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Understanding the Importance of Calming Activities for Kids</span></h2><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">As a parent, it's natural to want your little ones to stay active and engaged all the time. However, it's equally important to give them some downtime to relax and recharge. This is where calming activities come in.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/352850/14c12100dbbc3b99c2b97cd73470eaabd82929e5/original/image.png/!!/meta%3AeyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ%3D%3D.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="373" width="598" /></span></p><p> </p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Calming activities are not only beneficial for kids' mental and emotional health, but they also promote their physical well-being. Engaging in mindfulness exercises, deep breathing, yoga, and stretching activities can help children manage stress, anxiety, and even physical tension. Additionally, these activities help improve their concentration and focus, which can positively impact their academic performance.</span></p><p> </p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Furthermore, creating a routine around calming activities can help children develop healthy habits and coping mechanisms that they can carry with them throughout their lives.</span></p><p> </p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Incorporating calming activities into your child's routine doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. With creativity and imagination, you can turn everyday actions into calming moments. For instance, reading a book before bedtime, taking a nature walk, or taking a few deep breaths together can be practical calming activities.</span></p><p> </p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Stay tuned to discover some simple and fun mindful activities you can do with your little ones.</span></p><p> </p><h2 dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Mindful Activities for Kids</span></h2><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Mindful activities are great for children to practice mindfulness and cultivate their attention and awareness skills.

It's essential to adapt activities to meet their individual needs and abilities. Here are some tips to help support children with special needs:</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Consult with their healthcare provider or therapist: It's essential to seek guidance from a professional who knows the child's unique needs and abilities. They can provide recommendations for activities and modifications.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;"><span><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/352850/8d87ebea2db3ed0019bf2d7b1798ff3f7e797e42/original/image.png/!!/meta%3AeyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ%3D%3D.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="392" width="624" /></span></span></p><p> </p><ol>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Offer choices:</strong> Allow the child to choose from a few calming activities to help them feel more in control and invested in the activity.</span></li>
<li start="2"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Sensory activities:</strong> Children with sensory processing difficulties may benefit from activities incorporating different textures, scents, or sounds. Sensory activities such as finger painting, sand play, or water play can be calming and therapeutic.</span></li>
<li start="3"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Mindful breathing:</strong> Teaching deep breathing techniques can help children with special needs manage stress and anxiety. Using language and visuals that resonate with the child and their unique needs is essential.</span></li>
<li start="4"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Be patient and flexible:</strong> Some children with special needs may require more time or adaptations to fully engage in calming activities. Be patient and flexible in your approach, and celebrate small successes.</span></li>
</ol><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">By adapting activities to meet the needs of children with special needs, we can help them experience the benefits of calming activities and mindfulness.</span></p><p> </p><h2 dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Empowering Kids to Manage Their Emotions</span></h2><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Teaching kids calming activities and mindfulness techniques can powerfully impact their ability to manage their emotions. By giving them the tools to cope with difficult situations, we can help them feel more in control and confident in themselves.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">It's important to remember that everyone experiences big emotions occasionally, and that's okay. What's important is how we respond to those emotions. Practicing mindfulness and self-regulation techniques can teach children to acknowledge their feelings without being overwhelmed.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Remember, it's never too early to start teaching mindfulness and emotional regulation to little ones. With time and practice, these skills can become second nature and help them thrive.</span></p><p dir="ltr"> </p><p dir="ltr"> </p><hr><p><span><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/352850/78d9b279d602c4d58d051046fb9b4bb9a8dfe96a/original/image.png/!!/meta%3AeyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ%3D%3D.png" class="size_m justify_left border_" height="116" width="116" /></span></p><p dir="ltr"> </p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#0e101a;"><strong>Andrea </strong>is currently the head of content management at </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://springhive.co/"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>SpringHive Web Design Company</u></span></a><span style="color:#0e101a;">, a digital agency that provides creative web design, social media marketing, email marketing, and search engine optimization services to small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Connecting Music and Literacy By Pam Schiller, Ph.D.
<p><strong>Music is an integral part of a quality early childhood curriculum. It plays a role in the following: <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/352850/1bf085a8267fe6bfd6aa061f1f24abb07e9c5b02/original/connectingmusicandliteracy.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_right border_" /></strong></p>
<p>In setting the tone of the classroom in developing skills and concepts. <br>In helping children make transitions. <br>In building a sense of community. </p>
<p>Of course, if you ask the children, they will tell you singing is part of their daily activities because it's just plain fun! </p>
<p><strong>The Push for Early Literacy Skills </strong></p>
<p>In recent years there has been strong national focus on early literacy. We have begun to examine and define the val</p>
<p>uable role singing songs and reciting chants and rhymes play in laying the foundation for reading readiness. We know, for example, that singing songs and reciting chants and rhymes help build vocabulary and develop sound discrimination. The size of a child's vocabulary (oral language) and his or her skill in being able to discriminate sounds (phonological awareness) are strong predictors of how easily a child will learn to read when exposed to formal instruction. But oral language and phonological awareness are not the only skills that are developed when children are exposed to songs, chants, and rhyme. Both activities also help develop listening and comprehension skills. With conscious effort we can use them to provide opportunities for children to develop letter knowledge and recognition and to become familiar with the conventions of print. </p>
<p><strong>Song, Chants and Rhymes as a Springboard to Literacy </strong></p>
<p><br>Song, chants, and rhymes can be used to develop every aspect of reading readiness. In order for children to become avid readers they must have mastery of the skills (mechanics), but they must also have the desire to read (disposition). Disposition grows from positive experiences. Singing songs and reciting chants and rhymes provide a natural way to build the development of skills while ensuring the acquisition of disposition.Using songs, chants and rhymes as a springboard to literacy simply requires being a little more mindful of opportunities and a little more aware of which literacy skills young children are capable of mastering. We would never want to dissect a song so much that we loose the joy of the song. However, calling attention to the rhyming words in Itsy Bitsy Spider or the alliteration in “Miss Mary Mack” will go a long way in helping children focus on the sounds and structure of language—it will help children develop literacy skills within a meaningful and enjoyable context.</p>

February: Heart Health Month & Kids

<p><span>February is heart month. It’s Valentine’s Day, reminding us that our hearts beat with love for our families, pets, and friends. In addition, February is also a reminder that our hearts need to be exercised and strengthened every day – and we need to start when we are children. Children are natural movers and shakers! However, there are so many distractions that can pull kids away from running and playing. Instead they turn to sitting and staring at a screen, moving only their eyes and fingers. Unfortunately, obesity and the beginnings of diabetes can creep into a child’s health if exercise is not encouraged. </span></p>

Hero
<br>Veterans Day is a Federal Holiday observed in the United States on November 11 th every year.<br><br>We celebrate the dedication and loyalty of our Armed Service Veterans; they protect our freedom. These men and women are our heroes.<br><br>Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day because that day commemorated the end of World War One. It occurred on the 11 th hour of the 11 th day of the 11 th month. WWI was thought to be the end of all wars when the Armistice was declared, but unfortunately more wars were to follow. So the name was changed to Veterans Day to honor our service people, both living and dead.<br><br>Thank you to all our Veterans. We appreciate your sacrifice more than you will ever know.<br><br>How will you celebrate Veterans Day? I went to a parade in my City, and waved a little American flag. It was very moving, and I was so proud of everyone who marched and rode in the floats. A High School marching band carried a really huge American flag stretched out between many young people. They waved it back and forth to the patriotic music of our armed forces. It was beautiful.<br><br>Later in our Veterans Park, I saw a painting of a young man handing a folded flag to an older person who was receiving it in memory of her fallen son, and I saw a photograph of the word, HERO, with the scars of a Viet Nam Veteran superimposed inside the letters. My husband bears the scars that were used in the photograph.<br><br>Encourage your children to make a flag, write a thank you note, read a story, send a care package, and show gratitude to those who serve our country.<br>

Dear Friends,
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy was unprecedented. Our local area of Central New Jersey was hit harder than I can recall. Many of our friends are dealing with the loss of their homes & businesses. Fortunately, Kimbo's headquarters were spared by this terrible storm. With that said, we continue to deal with electrical outages and are hoping to be up-and-running sometime this week. </span><br><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On behalf of Kimbo, our warmest thoughts, prayers and hope go out to everyone affected by this tragedy. There is a long road to recovery, but I am confident in our ability to rebuild and get back on track. Thank you all for your patience as we will announce when we are fully operational. </span><br><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kind Regards, </span><br><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Jim Kimble </span><br><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">President</span>

<tr> <td>[Feet shoulder width apart/Bend those knees/And bounce up and down….Jump, jump, jump]</td> <td>
<strong>Homologous Movement Pattern</strong><br>Involves symmetrical movement of both feet and hands at the same time. It supports and stimulates development of the limbic system (emotions, relationships, organization). ¹</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>[Up on your toes….down on your heels…toes up/March on those heels]</td> <td>Elongating the calf muscle by lengthening and shortening it activates the brain stem and helps with focus. ²</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>[Feet flat, march on the spot/Knees high]</td> <td><strong>Contralateral Movement Pattern</strong></td> </tr>
<tr> <td>[Jump, jump, jump, Veggie Power!]</td> <td>Jumping is an important skill. Children need to learn to bounce first, then push off with both feet, knees bent, to propel themselves upwards. ¹</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>[Jumping jacks]</td> <td>
<strong>Homologous Movement Pattern</strong><br>Jumping jacks involve symmetrical movement of arms and legs, helping develop a sense of the upper and lower halves of the body.</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>[Jogging on the spot/ Feet wide apart…/Feet back together]</td> <td>
<strong>Contralateral Movement Pattern</strong><br>Jogging with feel wide apart and then back together develops body awareness through varying movements and changing speed.</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>[Arms out in front, bend arms in towards your chest/Roll one arm over the other]</td> <td>
<strong>Contralateral Movement Pattern</strong><br>Here is a simple movement sequence involving the cross-lateral movement of rolling the arms in a variety of different spaces (i.e., in front of the body, over the head, down the side, and down to the toes).</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>[Hop on one foot/Hop forward/…hop back/…hope on the spot with eyes closed]</td> <td>
<strong>Homologous Movement Pattern</strong><br>Hopping is a fundamental movement skill. Hopping on one foot allows the body to learn to shift weight and to balance.</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>[…climb up a really tall ladder/Reach high with your arms]</td> <td>
<strong>Contralateral Movement Pattern</strong><br>Here are movements involving the coordination and working-together of limbs. They allow children the opportunity to imagine and explore, while orienting their bodies in different spaces.</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>[…arms out to your side/…spin around in little circles….spin the other way/…wiggle your arms up and down]</td> <td>Spinning is a natural movement for children. When the body moves, the brain records that information and forms its own understanding of what it feels like to be in and out of balance. The brain is craving these kinds of movements in order to stimulate the Vestibular System (eye-ear connection) and establish its sense of balance. ³</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>[Touch opposite hand to opposite ankle]</td> <td><strong>Contralateral Movement Pattern</strong></td> </tr>
<tr> <td>[Reach your hands way up….And start jumping]</td> <td>
<strong>Homologous Movement Pattern</strong> <br>As children listen and move to music, millions of brain neurons are firing and connecting with other neurons. What a terrific way to build a healthy brain and body!</td> </tr>
