today i did a workshop with zar's kinder class. some movement work and then followed with some art making. it is so much easier to work one-on-one. focus and attention diluted by a class is quite a challenge. never the less the children were very engaged with the process. i was happy with the session. we worked with the idea of seeds. growing little crouched people as i watered them and they imaged the sun shining on them. then we drew faces on eggs and planted alfalfa inside the hollowed egg (first filled with cotton wool).
zar and i had done this exercises at home. he then took the eggs for 'share and tell' time. the children were so taken with the eggs that i offered to come and repeat the exercise with them.
i love the idea of seeds growing, marking the time that has past, honoring the process that has taken place.
