Spring Break Learning - Story Medicine


 For Spring break I have developed learnings and related activities for each day.
On Saturday we talked about story medicines and how we need to practice listning.  On our daily walk we went in silence in order to listen to the stories that we could hear in the space around us (a lot of cars).  Being silent, even for half a block was hard for R. 
 
Afterwards we talked about what story characters we would be and why.  With dinner we read the "ABC's of our Spiritual Connection" by Kim Soo Goodtrack.  The book itself was a little disjointed but there was enought in the pictures that we had a good conversation overall. 
 
While spring break seems to involve a lot of computer time around here where it is still snowey and cold at this time of year, I find these small exercises are helpful to take time away as a family and focus on some learnings and joint activities.
