Many were also unable to accurately plug in their personal information or copy provided information onto a form often mixing up key information such as cities & counties or phone number & social security numbers.

“When Spring Comes” Literacy Integration Lesson Plan
By Lara Hocheiser
The story, When Spring Comes by Kevin Hikes, illustrated by Laura Dronzek, is my daughter’s favorite book year round. It's the perfect story to explore the transition from Winter to Spring. When reading this story to children, they become overjoyed to see the nature and animals related to the springtime. They love to pretend and act out the meaning of the story.
Use this lesson plan while reading When Spring Comes. This is the perfect way to integrate physical activity and mindfulness into storytime. Each page can be brought to life with our yoga sequence and our beautifully-illustrated yoga cards teach children how to do each yoga pose.
When Spring Comes is filled with imagery, alliteration, and repetition. Through this book, we can teach children these valuable literary devices through facilitated discussions, group activities and extension exercises included in this lesson plan. Also included are coloring pages, crafts, breathing exercises, mindfulness activities and more!
When Spring Comes Literacy Integration is a 24-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.
When Spring Comes Lesson Plan is designed for kids ages 4-10 and includes:
Let’s Make Shapes! Yoga & Mindfulness
By Lara Hocheiser
Make shapes fun with yoga. Enjoy this fun activity our founder has been doing in classes since 2009! Shapes are all around us, and we can even make shapes with our bodies.
Use this activity packet to inspire littles ones to explore the world around us with math and shapes.
For years I’ve taught this class to toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners. It’s perfect for early childhood or group where big kids support younger kids. If you have mixed ages, or are working with first or second graders, you can make it interesting by focusing on the number of sides in a shape and placing the poses in order based on the number of sides in the shape. Remember to have fun, allow for mistakes, review the shapes and poses in a light hearted way, and make the children feel like shapes, math, and yoga are their friends.
Let’s Make Shapes! is a 17-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.
This activity packet includes:
