Welcome to Season 4 of Peace Out Podcast! This season, we are exploring the life cycles of different animals, plants, and minerals on earth. We're starting simple, with a pebble!

Today's Themes Scientific (curriculum connections): rocks, erosion Social-emotional connections: patience, resilience

Resource Erosion by National GeographicFour Reasons to Cultivate Patience by Kira M. Newman How to teach children patience: making waiting fun! YouTube video by Extra Education Beyond School Time (some great, practical ideas!) Shape and Erosion of Pebbles, a scientific paper by Durian, D., Bideaud, H., Duringer, P., Schröder, A. P., & Marques, C. M. (2007). Maybe not to read with children, but to show those who love rocks and crystals that this can be a subject they study as a job!

Board games are also great ways to practice patience and taking turns!

In Season 3 we asked listeners to tell us where they felt safe, happy, and calm. We loved hearing from you and received so many recordings, we weren't able to fit them all into last season. So we decided to make this special bonus with some more recordings that were sent in!

Special thanks to the listeners featured in today's episode:

Season 4 premieres in 2020, more details in this episode, including our new question for listeners: What are your stories of kindness? Send in a recording of yourself telling us Kindness Stories to [email protected] and we will include some in our new episodes!

We're going back to the moon! In Season 1, "A Trip to the Moon" brought us to the moon's surface with our imagination. Join us as we go back in this short mindfulness + movement story.

This season we're heading out to space, and with that, we are introducing a new feature: SafeSPACE. We hope that as children think about and talk about where they feel safe, it opens up discussion with their families and also creates an awareness of where they can go or who they can turn to when they need it. If your child would like to share where/who/what their safe, happy, or calm space is, please send in a recording of them, picture, or message to [email protected] or on our Facebook page @bedtimefm or Twitter @peaceoutpodcast. We'd love to hear what makes them feel this way and why and we'll share it on a future episode or on our social media!

Today we talk about the importance of trying our best, trying again (or practicing), and pivoting (changing direction/strategy). We want to promote resiliency in children by encouraging them to keep trying and start to look for ways to be excellent!

If you're listening to this in a classroom, you'll need some room for one of our exercises today, so please make sure everyone is spread out comfortably. 😀

For this episode, the first exercise requires a bit of room as we crab walk around. If you're listening in your classroom, it might be a good idea to make sure you have a nice clear area first.

Today we're focusing on our five senses: taste, touch, smell, hear, see. Five breathing and movement activities and we end off by doing a helpful grounding technique that helps bring back control when we feel that things are out of control, especially for anyone who experiences anxiety.

Check out our social media for pictures and video of the Tibetan singing bowl and the grounding technique too!
