Pebble Patience

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!  Also new this season is our Kindness Story shared each episode. If you'd like to tell us about a time when someone did something kind for you, please send a voice recording to [email protected] with "Kindness Story (child's name)" as the subject. We will listen and respond to each one and choose a few to include on future Peace Out episodes!  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!  Mixed and Mastered by John Karsten for Bedtime FM Why not listen to more of Peace Out from Bedtime FM Drop us an email to [email protected], or follow us on Facebook or Twitter
