Oh my goodness, has it been hot! We are in a week of upper 90's, which is great for wheat harvest, but hard on people!Water, always important in the garden, is even more so now. We gave everything a little extra water today to get it through the coming days of heat.
It was fun discovering new little watermelon, tomatoes and peppers!
Today's garden piece was about respect in the garden. We had a poster with the headings, Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible and Be an Ally. We named specific ways to accomplish each of those and took turns writing it on the poster. Pairs of participants had paper copies to work on and all of them got passed from pair to pair as we moved through the page so that everyone would have a part in creating the main poster.
After a break torun off some energy, and a great snack of popcorn and watermelon, we moved to the relationship piece of the day.
We talked about the many ways we can respect each other, identifying specific actions that show respect. We talked a great deal about respect for ourselves. After all, if we don't have genuine respect for ourselves it's going to be hard to have respect for anyone else.
Each person filled in a heart shape with things that they like to do and things they like about themselves. That generated a lot of conversation.
This week there is homework...come back next week with a list of things you can compliment yourself for, and each day this week sincerely compliment someone. That's alot of positive for the coming week!
Next week: Oh, the Pressure
