"Just Breathe" by Julie Bayer Salzman & Josh Salzman (Wavecrest Films)

Emotions - Anger

The inspiration for “Just Breathe” first came about a little over a year ago when I overheard my then 5-year-old son talking with his friend about how emotions affect different regions of the brain, and how to calm down by taking deep breaths — all things they were beginning to learn in Kindergarten at their new school, Citizens of the World Charter School, in Mar Vista, CA. I was surprised and overjoyed to witness first-hand just how significant social-emotional learning in an elementary school curriculum was on these young minds. The following year, I decided to take a 6-week online course on Mindfulness through Mindful Schools (http://www.mindfulschools.org/), figuring that if my son was learning about this, it only made sense that I should learn too. Within the first week, I felt the positive effects of this practice take root not only on my own being but in my relationships with others.

As a filmmaker, I am always interested in finding a subject worthy of filming, and I felt strongly that Mindfulness was a necessary concept to communicate visually. Thankfully my husband, who happens to be my filmmaking partner, agreed. We made “Just Breathe” with our son, his classmates and their family members one Saturday afternoon. The film is entirely unscripted – what the kids say is based purely on their own neuro-scientific understanding of difficult emotions, and how they cope through breathing and meditation. They, in turn, are teaching us all ...

Film Festival Plan for 2015 ???

It's that time again...

What kind of movie will you make? 

Kevin's top two choices are a "Stop Motion" movie using the Lego Movie iPad app or a Draw My Life movie. You might have a better idea...

Check out some of the movies on You Tube  and we will have a class meeting to discuss our ideas.

Edgewater 3 Term 3 Art Assignment = Explore Emotions = Expressionism

The Scream by Edvard Munch

"I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard the enormous infinite scream of nature."

Fitness Survey Comments

P.E Fitness Survey By Keenen

P.E Fitness.

We went  rock climbing at the gym. We met the students in the gym and we said hello to them. I was the first to go rock climbing.

I was climbing up the rock climbing wall because I was not scared. I swung around with the rope when I was coming down and it made me happy.

Michael was second at rock climbing because he was waiting for me to come down.

Brennan was third to go rock climbing.

Jordan was waiting for Michael because he wanted to have a turn and also Joseph was waiting too because he was the last one.

Michael, Brennan, Jordan, and Joseph are watching me climbing up and coming down.

The next team was Bradley, Lauren, Natasha, Finn, and Aidan  

We were playing basketball because we finished rock climbing. We threw the basketball in the hoop. The basketball was fun and we got lots of goals.  We watched Natasha climbing up because she was brave.

She was not scared and she climbed all the way to the top.

We had fun at the rock climbing and basketball.

I was  trying to keep my balance and I tried my best and kept going until  I was good at it.It was fun, everyone was watching me walking on the rope. I did a good job and I was surprised that I was able to do it.
