After visiting the Bird Sanctuary we take an opportunity, during our group discussion, to revisit the experience as our reflection. It is part of our learning experiences to make sense of what we have learned. We ask ourselves of the following questions:
An important part of reflection is having the opportunity to talk with others about what we are experiencing, sharing ideas and considering multiple points of view. After agreeing that the birds are friendly and happy when they see us, Nora highlights how one bird thought there were seeds on my head for the bird tried to peck her head. A similar situation of using her sense of touch is encountered by Margo. She shares how a blue jay pecks her head, too. Vivaan shares his observation on how the birds, robins and chickadees, play. They just went in the race and then the ducks and the goose share the food. Reflection keeps the door open for new possibilities and interpretations to come up; to wonder about what is going on with an open, playful curiosity. Margo demonstrates her sense of care through her reflection. She suggests to make a home for the birdies at our backyard. Isn't it a lovely proposal to create our own bird-friendly space? This emotional intelligence is part of the human capacity when we allow it to show up and we take the time to notice it and wonder about where it comes from. Brooks adds on another idea like we can make a giant birdie house like this one (the mirror box), a comfy bed, and a comfy home. Not just enough with the structural point-of-view, Brooks includes birds' food as another important element for the birds. When asked if any further point Lukah likes to add, he mentions about a square shape. By being engaged in the practice of reflecting upon interactions with peers, and educators, we learn insights into relationships and the intricate dynamics shaping those around us. And, it holds tremendous potential when we support our intelligence to grow and use it. The projections come in many ways such as ...
Considering self-reflection as a mirror to hold up ourselves to unravel our emotions, strengths, areas of growth, and preferences. We picture the excitement of us discovering our interests. In the face of challenges, reflection emerges as an agent of change. When we are challenged to rethink of constructive points to rephrase the ways we respond toward certain circumstances, we brainstorm together. By seamlessly integrating reflective learning experience into our daily encounters, we can provide ourselves with tools to help us navigate life's ups and downs with poise and resilience. Through reflection, we learn to perceive setbacks as temporary hurdles on the path to greater journeys. When we start with the positive, we remind ourselves that our relationship also involves noticing when we thrive, giving ourselves values, while being grateful for all the wonderful things we have in our lives. On this opportunity we would like to wish Brooks a blast of joy on his 5th birthday! May your dreams and wishes come true, Brooksie! Stay joyful and hilarious! It is time to incorporate some balloons in our celebration. Balloons and parties go hand in hand. Our balloon waddle races require us not to drop or burst the balloons. A fun and engaging way of building our spirit of sportmanship like fairness, respect, and integrity. Kindest,
Children & Friends.
