After the walk everyone will join together in a flat, usually grassy area where Bunny sets up class. Here children are encouraged to sit in “Our circle in the sun!” Which will look like the children sitting in front of bunny in a semi-circle like shape on the “special rug” (canvas tarp). Grown-ups are welcome to participate during class or may take a few big steps back to enjoy quiet adult chatter and socialization amongst themselves while the children are occupied in dance, song, or simply just watching!
For the shy or especially young children; grown-ups are welcome to sit with their child on the canvas’ edge- so to not block any littles from seeing Bunny!
Note: Grown-ups may not leave children in class and will remain responsible for their children for the entire class.
Please be advised that class IS face-friendly; for children, being able to focus on facial expressions and facial movement is highly important when developing mirror neurons and ultimately speech and language skills. That’s why it is important that they see their grown-ups face as well as Bunny’s when in class!
For those who would like to wear a face covering and/or participate at a distance; no problem! Many Grown-ups choose to wear a face covering and some have their children wear them as well.
Want space to distance? Remember this class is outside! Plenty of space for everyone! Please bring your own
blanket to sit on. Class is still so much fun even at a distance!
However, If a child must sit far away it is suggested that the grown-up opt out of chatter time and instead sing, dance, and guide the child through every song, fingerplay, and story. This way the child gets a similar experience as the children close to the Teacher!
