the relaxation programme for the kiddos

so to help them to relieve stress and reduce the rate of crime, I came up with my own relaxation programme using what I had learnt before from yoga and centering exercises. haha. I needed time to Continue to teach so I could only use 10 minutes of curriculum time to conduct the exercise for them. I was so surprised at how tired some of them were.

I turned on some piano instrumental music, asked them to close their eyes, lay their heads on their tables, used all the " relax your muscles " talk and gave them a few minutes of silence. in THAT tone of voice. At the end of 10 minutes, I slowly woke them up. As I asked them to move to their next class, there were 11 of them, still sleeping on their table. Such precious souls they are. Sigh. I think it's a freaking bad idea for ramadan and pre - PSLE period to coincide.
