Some of our activities have included washing the windows to let the sunshine in and talking about the sun:
The sun warms our planet and helps things grow and live
The sun's shape is a circle
There are many different colors the sun shows like yellow, orange, red...
Have you ever seen the sun rise in the morning? Set in the evening?
What colors do you see in the sunset?
The sun is helpful to us.
What does it do?
It gives our world light and warmth, it helps living things grow, it wakes people and animals up each morning.
We have talked about what we use in the sun and other things that resemble the sun's colors and temperature.
We made Sun Bread, played a sun ball game, used the Sun's colors in watercolor painting, and read the following stories:

How Raven Stole the Sun by Maria Williams
The big round sun in the summertime sky
Winked at a cloud that was passing by
The little cloud laughed as it scattered rain
Then out came the big round sun again
Sunshine over the meadows wide
Where the bees hummed in the clover
And sunshine filling the lily cups
Till every one brimmed over.
Sunshine over the hazy hills
And over the dimpling river,
And I wished the sun and the summer day
Might shine and last forever.
Nature Walk Verse:
O lovely June! O lovely June!
You're everything together
Your skies so fair,
Your flowers so rare,
Oh stay, delightful weather!
Winked at a cloud that was passing by
The little cloud laughed as it scattered rain
Then out came the big round sun again
Sunshine over the meadows wide
Where the bees hummed in the clover
And sunshine filling the lily cups
Till every one brimmed over.
Sunshine over the hazy hills
And over the dimpling river,
And I wished the sun and the summer day
Might shine and last forever.
Nature Walk Verse:
O lovely June! O lovely June!
You're everything together
Your skies so fair,
Your flowers so rare,
Oh stay, delightful weather!
This week's reflection:
Letting Go:
"The things we love we have to learn to leave alone." Dr. Wayne Dyer
Letting go is one of the most difficult things we must do in life, but without doing so, we remain stuck and unable to move forward in peace.
The only way to truly let go is to shift your attention away from the event, thing or person, and focus immediately on where you are now and what you need to do for yourself.
If you have trouble letting go, you can repeat a simple statement to yourself as a release and a reminder. For example, "_______ is now released from my concern and (the person/event/concern) is now free to do what it is meant to do without my attachment." or "I now fully release my (worry, concern, fear), and let go with love." These types of freeing statements can be repeated, written down and meditated on over and over again until you are able to work yourself back toward finding the peace you need."
