Summary
Today we talk about mycelium. To me, this is such an interesting topic, so I’ve included some links below if you want to learn more!
We also do a Loving Kindness practice today. This is when we think of four people (ourselves, someone we love, someone we find difficult, a neutral person) while we say:
May you be happy May you be healthy May you be safe May you live with ease
This is a beautiful practice that helps encourage kindness.
And speaking of kindness, if you’d like to tell us about a time when someone did something kind for you, please send a voice recording to peaceout@bedtime.fm with “Kindness Story (child’s name)” as the subject. We will listen and respond to each one and choose a few to include on future Peace Out episodes!
Today’s Themes
Scientific (curriculum connections): mushrooms, mycelium, root systems Social-emotional connections: interconnectedness
