Hi everybody, welcome.
[0:49]
Miss Kelly here.
[0:51]
We practise our school yoga together.
[0:55]
Have a seat in easy pose, sit down
[0:58]
on the ground, cross ankles, sit nice and
[1:02]
tall, hands together in our lap.
[1:07]
Easy pose.
[1:10]
I have a story.
[1:13]
And thank you for listening, wonderful listening.
[1:18]
Everybody, I went to the store and I
[1:23]
saw that they had one of my most
[1:29]
favourite things.
[1:31]
Oh my goodness.
[1:33]
They had chocolate covered marshmallows.
[1:40]
Yes, I love chocolate covered marshmallows.
[1:45]
And I said, well, I am getting two.
[1:53]
I'm taking two today.
[1:57]
They are both for me.
[1:59]
I will have one later that day and
[2:03]
I will have the second one maybe tomorrow.
[2:08]
So I was feeling so great.
[2:11]
Two chocolate covered marshmallows.
[2:15]
I paid for them, of course.
[2:17]
I walked outside of the store and I
[2:20]
looked over.
[2:21]
There is a man at a table.
[2:24]
He works there.
[2:25]
I know him.
[2:27]
He gets nice, wonderful food for people who
[2:30]
are hungry.
[2:32]
And when I see this man outside the
[2:35]
store, I always smile and he does the
[2:38]
same.
[2:40]
Well, there he was.
[2:46]
And then I just paused for a moment.
[2:49]
Remember, pause means we stop carefully, we think
[2:56]
carefully.
[2:58]
And I was thinking, should I give the
[3:05]
man one of my chocolate covered marshmallows?
[3:08]
And then I thought, no.
[3:11]
Oh, no.
[3:13]
Both of these are for me.
[3:16]
And then I was thinking, but it would
[3:19]
be nice to just give the man one
[3:22]
of the chocolate covered marshmallows.
[3:24]
And then I thought, no, Miss Kelly, he
[3:26]
is not even asking for one.
[3:29]
Everybody, my brain was jumping around all over
[3:32]
the place.
[3:33]
Jumpy thoughts.
[3:35]
Give him one, not give him one.
[3:37]
Oh, I said, oh, hold on.
[3:43]
This is not the way to make a
[3:46]
good choice with a jumpy thoughts, jumpy brain.
[3:49]
Oh, no.
[3:51]
I know what I need to do to
[3:54]
make good choices.
[3:56]
So as I was standing there, everybody, I
[4:00]
took a calm breath in and a calm
[4:03]
breath out.
[4:04]
Oh, I took another one, calm breath in
[4:07]
and calm breath out with my calm heart,
[4:12]
calm hearts for myself, calm hearts for the
[4:14]
man, everyone.
[4:17]
And then I knew what to do.
[4:23]
I walked over to the man and I
[4:27]
said, sir, would you like one of these
[4:30]
chocolate covered marshmallows?
[4:32]
Everybody, he said, yes.
[4:33]
And he smiled so big.
[4:35]
And I smiled so big, too.
[4:38]
We both felt great.
[4:40]
So please sit nice and tall.
[4:43]
Let's have our hands and calm hearts.
[4:46]
When we give just to be nice, when
[4:53]
we give with our calm breathing, calm hearts,
[4:58]
it means we are being generous.
[5:04]
Can we say generous?
[5:07]
Oh, generous is a very wonderful way to
[5:12]
be.
[5:12]
We give just to be nice.
[5:15]
We give with our calm breathing, calm hearts.
[5:18]
So if we practise our calm breathing, calm
[5:22]
hearts, we can be generous today, especially in
[5:26]
our classroom.
[5:28]
Let's see what we could give to others
[5:30]
just to be nice.
[5:32]
Are we ready?
[5:33]
Hands are together, sitting up nice and tall,
[5:37]
and we sing our hearts are calm today.
[5:41]
Hands into calm hearts, everybody.
[5:43]
Calm breath in and calm breath out and
[5:49]
calm breath in and calm breath out.
[5:54]
All right, we sing calm breath in.
[5:58]
Our hearts are calm today.
[6:02]
Our hearts are calm today.
[6:06]
Our hearts are calm today.
[6:11]

[6:11]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[6:16]
Excellent.
[6:17]
Easy pose, sitting tall, hands on two knees.
[6:19]
Let's take our left hand.
[6:22]
We're making a circle, arm circle.
[6:25]
Okay, like one marshmallow.
[6:27]

[6:35]
Let's go together.
[6:36]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.

[6:44]
Calm breath in like a chocolate covered marshmallow.
[6:47]
We don't eat too many.
[6:49]
Calm breath out.
[6:51]
Good.
[6:51]
To the centre, calm hearts, calm breath in,
[6:56]
calm breath out.
[6:59]
Easy pose, sitting tall, hands on two knees.
[7:01]
We have our right hand.
[7:03]

[7:04]
And okay, let's choose a nice healthy apple.
[7:11]
Yes, apple circle.
[7:13]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[7:18]
It could be a green apple.
[7:21]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[7:25]
Good, everybody.
[7:26]
Let's make one more apple circle.
[7:28]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[7:32]
Well, I saw who was very focused.
[7:35]
Hands in calm hearts.
[7:37]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[7:42]
Easy pose, sitting tall, hands on two knees.
[7:45]
Let's make a tiny circle with our head
[7:48]
today, like a little green grape.
[7:52]
Here we go.
[7:54]
Green grapes are healthy and we're circling our
[7:58]
head carefully.
[8:01]
Calm breath in.
[8:02]
When our head is back, we'll make it
[8:04]
even smaller circle.
[8:06]
Calm breath out.
[8:08]
Head is forward, opposite way.
[8:11]

[9:09]
Easy pose, sitting tall, hands on two knees.
[9:12]
We're going to do our favourite butterfly pose.
[9:17]
Everybody, please take our left knee out.
[9:21]
Remember, if you're close to your neighbour, don't
[9:23]
ask your neighbour to move.
[9:25]
You just move yourself over a little bit.
[9:29]
Knee is bent.
[9:31]
Butterflies are ready.
[9:33]
Sitting nice and tall.
[9:35]
Remember, we make our butterflies together.
[9:38]
We all have the same kind of butterfly.
[9:41]
Colour of the butterfly wings.
[9:46]
How about purple?
[9:51]
And colour of the butterfly's calm heart.
[9:54]
Who can raise their hand and give us
[9:56]
a colour for the butterfly's calm heart?
[10:03]
Very nice.
[10:05]
Okay.
[10:05]
On the wings, we're going to put something
[10:09]

[10:12]
We're going to give something just to be
[10:15]
nice.
[10:15]
We're going to be generous.
[10:17]
What are we giving our principal?
[10:25]
Very nice.
[10:26]
How about we also add a healthy salad
[10:30]

[10:32]
Here we go.
[10:33]
Calm breath in.
[10:33]

[10:59]
Let's draw a healthy salad for our principal.
[11:03]
Okay.
[11:03]
We draw the bowl for the salad.
[11:06]
Let's put in lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, celery.
[11:12]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[11:17]
And we change our sides and carefully take
[11:22]

[11:24]
Remember, move over.
[11:26]
Give your neighbour room.
[11:27]
Left knee bent.
[11:29]
We sit nice and tall.
[11:31]
Butterflies are ready.
[11:33]
Let's remember colour of our wings.
[11:38]

[11:41]

[11:53]
Okay.
[11:54]
This time on the wings, we're going to
[11:57]
give something to our custodians, the wonderful people
[12:02]
at our school that keep our school clean.
[12:06]
Oh, my goodness.

[12:49]

[12:51]
Let's draw calm hearts for the custodians.
[12:56]
We really like that they help us keep
[12:58]
the school clean.
[12:59]
Let's draw those calm hearts together.
[13:01]
Draw one side of calm hearts.
[13:03]
Draw other side of calm hearts.
[13:06]
Let's put one healthy sandwich into the calm
[13:09]
heart.
[13:11]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[13:15]
Excellent.
[13:16]
Back we go to easy pose.
[13:19]
Sitting tall, dance together.
[13:22]
We're going to do boat pose.
[13:25]
We're going to imagine that we are boats.
[13:29]
What colour boats can we be today?
[13:33]
You choose the colour.
[13:34]
You choose the colour.
[13:37]
Good.
[13:39]
And let's go to Mexico.
[13:45]
We're taking our boats to Mexico, sailboats.
[13:50]
And we're going to help animals.
[13:53]
That's why we're going.
[13:54]
We're going to be generous and help them
[13:57]
have healthy food, give them food.
[14:00]
So you choose one of those animals.
[14:04]
Raise your hand.
[14:05]

[15:19]
We went to Mexico.
[15:20]
We were generous.
[15:22]
We helped the animals.
[15:23]
We fed them.
[15:24]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[15:29]
All right.
[15:30]
Hands are down.
[15:31]
We're going to practise our school meditation like
[15:34]
we always do.
[15:35]
We're learning a new one today.
[15:39]
And please listen and please watch.
[15:42]
We practise our school meditation, we know, so
[15:45]
that we have calm brains.
[15:47]
Good choices with calm brains, like being generous.
[15:52]
And we practise our school meditation for calm
[15:55]
hearts.
[15:57]
Yes, peaceful with others.
[15:59]
Giving just to be nice to others.
[16:01]
Generous.
[16:03]
And when we have calm breathing, calm hearts,
[16:08]
we open our learning.
[16:09]
We do.
[16:11]
All right.
[16:13]
So everybody sit tall.
[16:15]
Eyes stay open.
[16:18]
Calm brain.
[16:20]
Calm hearts.
[16:23]
Calm brain.
[16:26]

[16:28]

[16:31]

[16:33]

[16:37]
Calm hearts.
[16:40]
Calm brain.
[16:43]
Calm hearts.
[16:45]
Sit taller.
[16:46]
Calm brain.
[16:49]
Calm hearts.
[16:51]

[16:54]

[16:56]
Careful hands.
[16:58]

[17:00]

[17:03]

[17:13]
Calm hearts.
[17:15]
Good, everybody.
[17:16]
Calm breath in and calm breath out.
[17:22]
And hands are down.
[17:23]
Let's remember Miss Kelly's story.
[17:27]
What did I get at the store that
[17:31]
I love so much?
[17:34]
Oh my goodness.
[17:37]
Chocolate covered marshmallows.
[17:41]
And I had two just for me.
[17:48]
When I went outside the store and saw
[17:50]
the man that I know, my brain started
[17:54]
jumping all around, jumpy thoughts.
[17:57]
Everybody, I didn't know.
[17:59]
What should I do?
[18:01]
Give him one or not give him one?
[18:04]
What did Miss Kelly do to help her
[18:09]
make a good choice?
[18:11]
What did I do?
[18:17]
Calm breath in.
[18:19]
Calm breath out.
[18:21]
Calm hearts.
[18:23]
Yes.
[18:25]
And then I gave the man one of
[18:29]
my chocolate covered marshmallows.
[18:31]
What is the word that we're learning today
[18:35]
that means to give with our calm breathing,
[18:39]
calm hearts?
[18:40]
Giving just to be nice.
[18:42]
Starts with a G.
[18:46]
Generous.
[18:48]
Okay, everybody.
[18:49]
So when we're generous at school and everywhere,
[18:54]
we feel great.
[18:56]
The people around us feel great that we're
[18:59]
giving to.
[19:00]
It's wonderful.
[19:02]
So lift your calm hearts if you're going
[19:04]
to be generous today.
[19:06]
Yes, let's be generous.
[19:08]
Let's give just to be nice in our
[19:10]
classroom.
[19:11]
We could give an eraser to our classmate.
[19:17]
We can give our great listening ears to
[19:21]
our teachers.
[19:22]
Be generous with our listening.
[19:24]
Give just to be nice.
[19:26]
Okay, everybody.
[19:27]
Very good.
[19:28]
Let's end our class.
[19:29]
Calm breath in.
[19:31]
Calm breath out.
[19:34]
Calm breath in.
[19:37]
Smiling calm hearts.
[19:41]
Thank you, everybody.
[19:43]
We practise our calm breathing, calm hearts every
[19:46]
day.
[19:48]
Smiling calm hearts open our learning.
[19:52]
See you soon.

Hi, everybody.
[0:48]
Welcome.
[0:49]
Ms. Kelly here.
[0:51]
We'll practice our school yoga together.
[0:55]
We sit in easy pose.
[0:57]
We're sitting down on the floor, on the
[0:59]
ground, crossed ankles, sitting up tall, hands together
[1:04]
in our lap.
[1:05]
Easy pose.
[1:09]
Now we learned that calm breathing, calm hearts
[1:15]
help us to be generous.
[1:19]
Everybody, let's say generous.
[1:24]
What does generous mean?
[1:28]
Giving with our calm breathing, calm hearts.
[1:34]
Yes.
[1:35]
Now, like in my story with the chocolate
[1:39]
-covered marshmallows, nobody told me that I should
[1:43]
give the mad one.
[1:44]
I made that choice by myself.
[1:48]
I wanted to give just to be nice,
[1:51]
to be generous.
[1:53]
And that's what we can all do.
[1:56]
We give just to be nice.
[2:00]
Yes.
[2:01]
And when we are being generous, remember, we
[2:06]
feel peaceful.
[2:09]
And the people that we're giving to also
[2:13]
feel peaceful.
[2:14]
Everybody feels great.
[2:17]
And everybody can have great learning.
[2:21]
So let's practice calm breathing, calm hearts.
[2:25]
And we sit tall, everybody.
[2:27]
We will sing our hearts are calm today.
[2:31]
Hands into calm hearts.
[2:33]
Calm breath in.
[2:35]
Calm breath out.
[2:37]
Very nice.
[2:38]
Calm breath in.
[2:40]
And calm breath out.
[2:43]
Okay, let's sing.
[2:45]
Calm breath in.

We'll say something nice together.

We will be focused together.
[3:17]
Peaceful together.
[3:19]

[3:21]
All right.
[3:22]
So this is what we're going to do
[3:23]
and say.
[3:25]
Generous means giving with calm
[3:36]
hearts.
[3:38]
Here we go.
[3:40]
Generous means giving with calm
[3:49]
hearts.
[3:51]
Again.
[3:52]
Generous means giving with calm
[4:00]
hearts.
[4:03]
We practice our calm breathing, calm hearts.
[4:06]
Calm breath in.
[4:08]
And calm breath out.
[4:10]
Very nice to practice every day.
[4:13]
Calm breath in.
[4:15]
And calm breath out.
[4:18]
Peaceful every day.
[4:21]
Calm breath in.
[4:23]
And calm breath out.
[4:27]
Peaceful with everyone.
[4:30]
Calm breath in.
[4:32]
Calm breath out.
[4:35]
Peaceful learning.
[4:38]
Yes.
[4:39]
Calm breath in.
[4:41]
Calm breath out.
[4:44]
We can be generous.
[4:46]
Calm breathing, calm hearts.
[4:47]
Calm breath in.
[4:50]
Calm breath out.
[4:52]
Good everybody.
[4:53]
One more together.
[4:54]
Those calm hearts are ready.
[4:56]
Calm breath in.
[4:58]
And calm breath out.
[5:01]
Very nice.
[5:02]
Hands are down.
[5:04]
So generous.
[5:08]
We give just to be nice.
[5:12]
We give with our calm breathing, calm hearts.
[5:16]
Now we could give something like a wave
[5:20]
to the custodians who clean our school.
[5:24]
And a smile.
[5:28]
We could give also a nice greeting.
[5:32]
Hi.
[5:34]
Have a nice day to our principal.
[5:38]
Oh everybody there are so many wonderful ways
[5:40]
to be generous.
[5:41]
We could give a snack to our friend
[5:45]
just to be nice.
[5:48]
Lift your calm hearts if you're going to
[5:49]
be generous today.
[5:50]
See what you could give.
[5:52]
Everybody feels great when we're being generous.
[5:57]
And we have excellent learning.
[6:09]
So smiling, calm hearts.
[6:13]
Thank you everybody.
[6:16]
We practice our calm breathing, calm hearts every
[6:19]
day.
[6:21]
Our smiling, calm hearts open our learning.
[6:28]
See you soon.
