Exciting News from AfterSchool
This week Mckeena, Sloan and Olivia decided to review the muscle testing exercises we did at the beginning of the year to experience the effects of strengthening and weakening behaviors.
(In the beginning I think they were mostly interested in playing the money game that goes also with doing strengthening or weakening behaviors, Mckenna is close to making $500 dollars.)
Julian got to watch and then try muscle testing his behaviors for the first time.
I loved watching the brave questioning the girls were doing as they tested some of the ways they had reacted to their sisters in the past when their sisters did things that they didn’t like.
Then Olivia had a Brainstorm. Do you remember this game from last year? The person being tested keeps their arm up and out to the side. Then they think about a behavior or response that they want to test. After they can vividly see the behavior in their mind, I place a weight in the hand they are holding up. If the behavior is weakening their arm drops towards the ground. So as Olivia was testing something she had said to her sister, and watching her arm continually drop towards the floor she said, “ Hey I get it! When my arm falls down it’s a Put Down. Get it? I can’t hold it up. I am putting it down. What I am thinking about is a Put Down!”
Meanwhile Daniel has been working on www.freerice.com during library time and has made over 3000 grains of rice. Daniel noticed that Freerice is now donating all rice to Haiti, and he is making a great contribution!
Wow, what an exciting moment we all got to see in AfterSchool!
