Today we started with a discussion on what is health, looking at it in a holistic (adj. - something intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole) way. We then did a t-chart in our journals, writing things we found to be essential or non-essential for our own health.
After that, we wrote a journal entry on a moral story from our life, based on the following three prompts:
Tell a story (in 2-3 lines) of:
1. Something where you were caught.
2. Something where you were rewarded.
3. Something where you did something where no one ever found out (good or bad)
Then we shared our 3 stories with our neighbor and they picked our best story. Next, we filled out a guideline for our story. You can find it here. Then we read silently, and finally we wrote some poems on sunflower seeds. Here are some of the best ones from the class:
The birth is first, it always is. Next
is growth, which is important, then
fall bloom, and finally the wilt.
The shape
a raindrop
falling from the clouds
the clouds that started the sunflower.
Opened and one seed on its way to your mouth
One bite a flash back of memory
The crunchiness spit out,
the salt stings your mouth.
Dreaming of being in the ground,
the sun against the soil starting to grow.
