Tranquil Tent Excerpt:
Rain drummed on the roof of the school as the all the little kids shuffled into their classroom. The room was full of vibrant colors. There were bright posters on the walls showing letters, numbers, and words like “You Can Do It!” and “Be Kind to Others.” The reading corner had big windows, and soft blue and green bean bags sat of the floor, ready for kids to snuggle up with a cozy book.
By the reading corner, next to the big shelves of books, stood a multicolored tent named Tyra. The little tent looked out at the classroom with a proud smile. Tyra was there to help if the kids needed a quiet place to calm down and regulate their feelings, so they could get ready to have fun and learn with all the activities of the day. As the children came into the classroom, Tyra watched them with excitement, wondering who might need her help today.
Today’s Meditation: Feel calm and relaxed as you imagine a baby elephant and its mama.
