This is a short end of day quiet moment for children aged 6 to 9.
A teacher or adult should be with you while you listen.
You don't have to remember everything,
Just see what pops into your mind.
Let your body be however it is comfortable.
On a chair,
The floor,
A cushion or leaning somewhere steady.
The school day is nearly finished.
Your brain has been busy all day long.
Learning,
Playing,
Solving,
Moving,
Talking.
Now we're going to take a little look back,
Like flipping through the pages of today's story.
Imagine the morning time at school.
See if something from earlier in the day pops into your mind.
Maybe something you learned,
Something you built or made,
Or something you tried that was new.
There's no right answer,
Just notice what shows up.
Now let your mind move to a moment that felt good today.
Maybe you felt proud.
Maybe something was funny.
Maybe someone was kind.
Let that good moment sit with you,
Just for a moment.
Now,
Days aren't always made of only easy parts.
Sometimes there are tricky moments too.
If you can think of one,
What made it a little bit hard or uncomfortable?
You don't have to go deep into it,
Just notice.
Now here's an important part of the story.
See if you can remember what happened after that.
Did someone help you?
Did you problem solve it yourself?
Did the feeling change afterwards?
Or did you just move on to something else?
Even small changes count.
Stories keep moving.
Your day is made of many pages.
Learning pages,
Fun pages,
Wobbly pages and problem solved pages.
So when your grown-up asks,
What did you do at school today?
Your brain now has some story pieces ready.
You might share something you learned,
Something that felt good or something you worked through.
Take a slow,
Easy breath in and out.
Feel the room around you.
Notice that today's school story is coming to a close.
Now gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Say goodbye to today with a smile.
