Hi,
Explorers.
Are you ready to reach for the stars?
Let's start by shaking our head and waving our arms to get some energy flowing.
Can you feel the excitement rising inside you?
I know my heart is beating really fast.
Now,
Let's find a cozy space.
Once you pick your spot,
You can sit crisscross applesauce or lay down with a blanket.
Okay,
Let's close our eyes and take a big,
Deep breath in.
And then,
Let it out with a big sigh.
Ah.
With our mind's eye,
Let's imagine a night sky.
The sky is dark and full of stars that shine the light all around you.
The stars are so bright.
Guess what?
Each star is a special gift.
That gift is just for you.
Look really hard at each of the stars and pick just one that catches your eye.
The star you pick is your gift.
It's an opportunity star.
Do you know what an opportunity is?
Well,
I do.
It's a chance to try new things,
Like making new friends,
Learning to ride a bike,
Learning to read,
Learning to swim,
Maybe picking a fun new adventure.
You have so many opportunities.
As you see your star,
Think about what you want to learn this coming year.
Oh my goodness,
Look at that.
As you think about what you want to learn this year,
Your star is changing color and shape.
My star is bright pink and has big sparkles and it's shaped like a bumblebee.
What color is your star?
Maybe it's a rainbow star?
A one that sparkles with glitter too?
Now,
Let's get ready to make a big wish.
Our wish is going to be about what we want to learn this year.
So think really hard about all the new things you want to learn this year.
And when you're ready,
Take a deep breath in and blow all of your wishes to your opportunity star.
When your wish reaches your star,
You will see your star float down from the sky.
When your star is close enough,
Reach up and catch it.
Hug it close to your heart.
Now,
Open your hand,
Take a big breath,
And on your exhale,
Gently blow your star back up to the sky.
The love you put into your star can make your wishes come true.
How else do you think you can help your wishes become your reality?
By practicing,
By practicing whatever you want to learn,
By believing in yourself,
By never giving up on your wish.
It's your actions that bring your opportunities to life.
I'm so excited about all the things I want to learn this year,
And I hope you are too.
As our adventure nears its end,
Let's stand up and do a happy dance to celebrate the opportunities and adventures waiting for you to discover in this new year.
Okay,
Okay.
Let's come to a place of stillness.
Take a deep breath in,
Let it out.
Take another deep breath in,
And let it out.
Remember,
Adventure,
Your magic star is always there and ready to guide you as you learn new things.
Remember that you are strong and you are full of courage,
That you can accomplish anything as long as you believe in yourself.
Embrace each moment with curiosity,
Courage,
And an open heart.
Let the spirit of adventure guide you on your next journey.
Until next time,
Bye!
