Here are your activities for Week 6!
Movement Activity: I’m a Gummy Bear!
Song Activity: I don’t know about you, but over the past couple months I have been feeling many different feelings all in one day. Being stuck at home and not being able to see my family and friends has not been easy for me. Let sing this song together and learn more about the different feelings we may feeling. Remember, you might feel many different feelings, and they’re all okay!
Story Yoga: As you all know, I have a daughter named Ciara. She is now 20 months old and getting so big! Her favourite thing to watch is Moana. I watch Moana (or parts of it) EVERY day… I think I have almost all the songs memorized now. So today, our yoga is going to be Moana inspired!

After you take a moment to breath and calm your body down, how do you feel?
Story Yoga: I decided to add a story yoga as well. Enjoy the story of Popcorn the Dolphin. I hope you get some good stretches today!
Have a wonderful week!
P.S. Parents: If you search for Zen Den in Google or YouTube, there are a lot of other short mindfulness videos that are great!
Happy Week 3!

Dear Division 9 and 10 Families,
Welcome back to school (virtually)! I miss you all and hope you had a good Spring Break, spending quality time with family, despite everything going on. For the duration of the school closure due to Covid-19, I will be making one blog post a week which will include one movement activity (video link) and one song (link) for your child/children to sing and learn. I hope this will help keep them entertained while they are spending time with you at home.
On the right hand side, under TRANSLATE, you will see a drop down arrow option to translate my blog posts into the language of your choice. It is currently set to ‘English’.
If your children are looking for a fun way to keep active while being socially isolated at home, you can head to gonoodle.com – click on ‘Learn More’, then on ‘For Families’. This will provide you with many different dances and movement activities to keep your child/children moving! Feel free to join in and dance with them 🙂
Please check back each week for more songs and fun activities! If you would like an email notification each time I update the blog, feel free to add your email to the subscription box on the right side bar. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at nicole.quin@burnabyschools.ca
Take care and keep safe,
Ms. Quin
