WHAT HAPPENED TO ME THIS

SO REMARKABLE, I WROTE A SONG
ABOUT IT.
A SONG ABOUT IT --
*
THIS MORNING WHEN I WOKE UP, I
COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES
*
EVERYTHING IN MY BEDROOM WAS NOW
AN ENORMOUS SIZE
*
I WAS STANDING ON A PILLOW AS
BIG AS A MOUNTAINSIDE
AND MY BLANKET STRETCHED BEFORE
ME LIKE AN OCEAN FAR AND WIDE
*
I WAS NO BIGGER THAN A BUG
NO BIGGER THAN A BUG
AND EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH BIGGER
WHEN YOU'RE NO BIGGER THAN A BUG
*
I HIKED ACROSS THE HALLWAY BUT
IT TOOK ME A LONG LONG TIME
CAUSE THE CARPET WAS A JUNGLE
THICK WITH TREES AND VINES
AND THE STAIRS WERE THESE
ENORMOUS CLIFFS
I WAS SCARED TO CLIMB
FORTUNATELY, I FOUND MY MODEL
PLANE AND I WENT FLYING
*
I WAS NO BIGGER THAN A BUG
NO BIGGER THAN A BUG
AND EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH BIGGER
WHEN YOU'RE NO BIGGER THAN A BUG
*
BAA, BAA, BAA, BAA
I MADE IT TO THE KITCHEN AND I
CLIMBED UP ON THE RIM
OF MY CEREAL BOWL WHICH LOOKED
AS BIG AS A FOOTBALL STADIUM
I DOVE INTO MY BREAKFAST - IT'S
A GOOD THING I CAN SWIM
I ATE AND ATE BOY DID IT FEEL
GREAT
UP TO MY LEGS IN SCRAMBLED EGGS
UP TO MY BELLY IN BREAD AND
JELLY
UP TO MY EYES IN BLUEBERRY PIES
IT WAS TONS OF FUN BUT WHEN I
WAS DONE, I WAS BACK TO MY
NORMAL SIZE
MY MOM LOOKED UP FROM HER COFFEE
CUP AND SAID, "WHERE HAVE YOU
BEEN?"
I SAID, "MOM, I'VE BEEN HERE THE
WHOLE TIME. YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T
SEE ME BECAUSE..."
>> WELL, WHY?
BECAUSE --
*
I WAS NO BIGGER THAN A BUG
NO BIGGER THAN A BUG
AND EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH BIGGER
WHEN YOU'RE NO BIGGER THAN A BUG
EVERYTHING IS A LOT LARGER,
EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH BIGGER
WHEN YOU'RE NO BIGGER THAN A
BUG.
>> TRUE STORY.
[APPLAUSE]

YEE HAW! WHAT A WORD
YEE HAW! QUITE ABSURD
IT MIGHT JUST BE THE STRANGEST
THING THAT YOU'VE EVER HEARD.

YELP, THIS POOR MAN HE CALLED
FOR HELP
HE SAID, "MY DUCK IS STUCK IN A
TREE, CAN ANYBODY HELP ME?
I LOOKED AT THE HORSE, HE LOOKED
AT ME
I SAID "SHOULD WE GO HELP THAT
DUCK?" AND THE HORSE JUST SAID
"YEEEA KNOW THAT'S A TREE,
RIGHT? AND I'M A HORSE? MOST
HORSES DON'T CLIMB TREES."
I SAID "YEEEEA KNOW, MOST HORSES
DON'T TALK"
HE SAID, "GOOD POINT"
"COME ON BUDDY, WE CAN SAVE THAT
DUCK. WHAT DO YOU SAY?"
THE HORSE NODDED HIS HEAD AND HE
SAID·
YEE HAW! WHAT A WORD
YEE HAW! QUITE ABSURD
IT MIGHT JUST BE THE STRANGEST
THING THAT YOU'VE EVER HEARD.
YEE HAW!
*
I RODE THAT HORSE RIGHT UP THE
TREE
BUT THE DUCK HE JUMPED ON ME
HE COVERED OUR EYES, WE COULDN'T
SEE
THEN HE STARTED BABBLING,
CACKLING SILLY THINGS
I SAID TO THE HORSE " I THINK
THE DUCK IS TALKING."
THE HORSE JUST SAID, " I THINK
YOU'RE RIGHT.
BUT WHAT'S HE SAYING?"
"I CAN'T QUITE MAKE IT OUT, BUT
IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE·"
*
YEE HAW! WHAT A WORD
YEE HAW! QUITE ABSURD
IT MIGHT JUST BE THE STRANGEST
THING THAT YOU'VE EVER HEARD.
YEE HAW!
*
WE KEPT ON HEADING HIGHER TO THE
THINNER BRANCHES CLOSER TO THE
SKY AND AS
THE DUCK THE HORSE AND ME GOT TO
THE TOP OF THAT TALL TREE
THE BRANCH WAS BENDING, THE TREE
WAS ENDING
THE DUCK WAS CALLING THE HORSE
WAS FALLING
BUT JUST THEN A HOT AIR BALLOON
SAILED BY WE GRABBED THE BASKET
AND THIS GUY INSIDE WHO LOOKED A
BIT SURPRISED -SAID WE COULD
RIDE ALONG, AND SO WE SANG FOR
HIM THIS VERY SONG, AND ASKED
HIM IF HE THOUGHT IT WAS TOO
LONG.

IT WAS ONE THAT I HAD NOT SEEN
YET
SHE OPENED IT UP AND BEGAN AT
THE START, BUT WHEN SHE GOT TO
THE EXCITING PART -
I SAID, "WAIT AUNTIE", I PULLED
THE BOOK TOWARD ME, THEN I TOLD
HER WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

SHE SAID, "HUH, HOW DID YOU

I HOPPED ON A BUS WITH MY UNCLE

SORT OF CLUE
AND WHEN I SAW THIS SIGN I KNEW

IT'S IRONIC.
MAYBE WE SHOULD PACK UP THE SONG
AND PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED.
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW IT
HAPPENED.
HAVE YOU SEEN SUPER READ?
ALL WE NEED IS AN "L."
THERE'S NO "L" IN WARNER PARK.
THERE'S AN "L."
MOVE IT OVER.
PASS IT OVER.
AND IN CASE YOU COULDN'T TELL

SOMETIMES I DON'T EVEN NEED ANY
H-E-L-P
I C-A-N R-E-A-D
IT STARTED OUT QUITE SIMPLY
JUST SOUNDING OUT MY ABC'S

EXCELLENT.
E.
FANTASTIC.
WE ARE GOING TO DO A SONG NOW
THAT'S A GAME.
YOU LIKE SONGS?
EXCELLENT.
THIS IS A SONG CALLED "GRAVITY.
WAS ANYONE HERE TWO YEARS AGO
WHEN WE HAD THE EVENT IN
DOWNTOWN MADISON?
>> WE PLAYED THE GAME, AND I
DON'T LIKE TO BRAG, BUT I
TRICKED EVERY PERSON IN THE
AUDIENCE WITH THIS SONG.
I FIGURED TWO YEARS LATER YOU
ARE TWO YEARS OLDER, TWO YEARS
WISER.
I THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE A
REMATCH.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS.
THE SONG IS CALLED GRAVITY.
LIFT IS WHAT KEEPS THAT UP IN
THE AIR.
FIGHTING GRAVITY, IT'S AMAZING.
ALSO THAT.
SINCE GRAVITY IS THE FORCE THAT
PULLS US DOWN, EVERY TIME I SAY
THE WORD DOWN, TOUCH THE GROUND.
SOUNDS SIMPLE.
IT'S TRICKY.
LET'S GIVE IT ONE PRACTICE.
*
* DOWN WITH GRAVITY.
YEAH, YEAH.
DOWN U DOWN, DOWN U DOWN DOWN,
DOWN.
ARE YOU READY FOR THE SONG?
ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL DO IT DOWN TO MAKE IT
EASIER FOR YOU.
IF I SAY DOWN, TOUCH THE GROUND.
IF I DON'T SAY DOWN, YOU HAVE TO
STAY UP.
*
ISAAC NEWTON FOUND GRAVITY
APPLE HIT HIM FALLING FROM A
TREE
HE SAID, "IT SEEMS TO ME,
THERE OUGHT TO BE A REASON FOR
THAT.
*
MAYBE IT'S NOT FALLING DOWN
>> GOOD LISTENING.
MAYBE IT'S NOT FALLING DOWN
AS MUCH AS EARTH IS PULLING IT
TOWARD THE GROUND
NOT GROUND.
WRONG WORD.
YOU KNOW, YOU SAW MY FROWN
WHEN THE APPLE SQUISHED MY HAT"
WE'RE DOWN WITH GRAVITY BABY
DOWN WITH GRAVITY HEY HEY
DOWN WITH GRAVITY YEAH
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN,
DOWN, DOWN
*
* *
*
>> NICE JOB, EVERYBODY.
LOOKS GOOD.
*
SO HE TESTED THAT THEORY WITH
DIFFERENT PLANETS OF THE GALAXY
HE FOUND, OF COURSE, THAT THE
PULLING FORCE WAS DIRECTLY
PROPORTIONAL TO THEIR MASS
>> IT'S TRUE.
>> IT IS TRUE.
*
LARGER OBJECTS LIKE PLANETS AND
STARS ATTRACT SMALLER ONES LIKE
PICKLES AND CARS
THEY PULL US IN, WE COULD HAVE
BEEN
FLOATING INTO SPACE LIKE A GAS
BUT INSTEAD WE'RE·
DOWN WITH GRAVITY BABY
DOWN WITH GRAVITY HEY HEY
DOWN WITH GRAVITY YEAH
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN,
DOWN, DOWN
*
>> NICE JOB.
PARENTS CAN DO THIS TOO.
YOU WON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE GYM
LATER.
MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME ANSWER
THESE QUESTIONS.
DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN YOU FALL
AND SCRAPE YOUR KNEE.
OR WHEN YOU ARE EATING ICE CREAM
AND IT FALLS ON THE SIDEWALK.
WHAT ABOUT IF YOU ARE WALKING
DOWN THE STREET -- EXCELLENT
LISTENING.
WHAT IF YOU FALL INTO A PIT?
THAT'S A DOWNER.
DOWN THERE IS A PIN YAC PINATA.
YOU KNOCK OPEN THE PINATA AND
THE PRIZES COME OUT.
THE PRIZES ARE FALL OUT BECAUSE
OF GRAVITY.
THIS REMINDS ME OF A STORY.
ABOUT
TWO KIDS WHO
HAVE A RUN IN WITH SOMETHING
THAT WE CALL GRAVITY!
ALL ABOUT OUR FRIENDS JACK AND
JILL
THEY MADE THEIR WAY UP THAT HILL
HAD A WELL OF WATER TO SEE
JACK FELL AND CRUMPLED HIS CROWN
JILL LAUGHED SO HARD SHE FELL
DOWN
ALL THANKS TO THAT GRAVITY
AND THEY WERE:
*
DOWN WITH GRAVITY BABY
DOWN WITH GRAVITY HEY HEY
*
* IN FACT THEY WERE DOWN WITH
GRAVITY.
*
* THEY WERE
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN,
DOWN, DOWN
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, UP --
DOWN.
*
>> NICE JOB, EVERYBODY.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL HAVE THE MOVE OUT LOUD
DANCERS COME TO HELP WITH THIS
ONE.
THIS IS ABOUT FIRE SAFETY.
I WROTE IT FOR THE FIRE
PROTECTION.
THEY WANT KIDS TO KNOW WHAT TO
DO IN THE RARE EVENT OF A FIRE
IN THE HOME OR APARTMENT.
THIS IS THE SONG WE CAME UP WITH
FOR THAT.
WE'LL SHOW YOU THE MOVES FOR
THAT ONE.
BEAUTIFUL.
FOLLOW THE MOVE OUT LOUD DANCERS
TO FIGURE OUT THE DANCE.
HERE ARE THE FOUR THINGS TO KEEP
IN MIND.
IF YOU SUSPECT A FIRE IS IN YOUR
HOME OR APARTMENT, YOU HEAR THE
FIRE ALARM GO OFF OR SMELL FOLK,
GET UP AND WALK, DON'T RUN, BUT
WALK BRISKLY.
REMEMBER, THERE ARE TWO WAYS OUT
OF EVERY ROOM.
IF ONE ROOM IS BLOCKED BY FIRE
OR DEBRIS, THERE IS USUALLY
ANOTHER EXIT OUT OF THE ROOM.
THREE, GET OUT OF THE ROOM
QUICKLY.
FOUR, GO TO YOUR OUTSIDE MEETING
PLACE WITH YOUR FAMILY.
THAT'S SIGN LANGUAGE FOR FAMILY.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN OUTSIDE
MEETING PLACE WITH THE FAMILY,
IT'S A GREAT THING TO DO, IN
CASE THERE IS AN EMERGENCY IN
THE HOUSE, FIGURE OUT A MEETING
PLACE OUTSIDE OF THE HOME SO
EVERYONE KNOWS EACH OTHER IS
SAFE.
HERE'S THE SONG.
*
LITTLE ROSALIE IN APARTMENT B

SHE RECOGNIZED THAT SOUND

SEE NEW THE NEXT SET.
SARAH: ONE THING I LOVE TO DO
IN THE SUMMER IS TO KICK BACK AT
THE PARK, THE BEACH OF MY
BACKYARD AND READ A GOOD BOOK.
BUT FOR SOME KIDS, IT'S HARD TO
GET TO THE LIBRARY.
THE DANE COUNTY LIBRARY SERVICE
IS TRYING TO FIX THAT WITH THEIR
NEW DREAM BUS THAT IS PUTTING
BOOKS RIGHT INTO KIDS' HANDS.
JOINING ME NOW IS DIRECTOR AND
DRIVER OF THE DREAM BUS, TRACY
HEROLD.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> DREAM BUS, TELL US MORE?
>> IT EASE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
DANE AND MADISON TO BRING
LIBRARY SERVICE TO RESIDENTS
THAT FIGHT IT DIFFICULT TO GET
TO PUBLIC LIBRARY BRANCHES.
>> WHAT IS IN THE DREAM BUS?
>> WE HAVE A VARIETY OF
MATERIALS FOR CHILDREN AND
ADULTS.
IT'S ALL AGES.
I BROUGHT A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES
FOR KIDS.
WE HAVE READERS.
WE HAVE PICTURE BOOKS.
WE HAVE A SPANISH COLLECTION FOR
ADULTS AND CHILDREN.
WE CARRY MOVIES.
WE CARRY MUSIC.
WE CARRY AUDIO BOOKS, SO A WHOLE
VARIETY OF ITEMS.
>> WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T HAVE
A LIBRARY CARD?
>> YOU CAN REGISTER I FOR A CARD
ON THE DREAM BUS.
YOU CAN USE IT ANYWHERE IN DANE
COUNTY.
>> WHAT IF THERE IS SOMETHING I
WANT TO READ BUT IT'S NOT ON THE
DREAM BUS?
>> YOU CAN PUT IT ON HOLD AND
DESIGNATE IT FOR THE PICK UP
LOCATION.
WE'LL HAVE IT FOR YOU ON THE
DREAM BUS IF YOU WANT TO PICK IT
UP THERE.
>> WHAT ARE THE STOP IN THE
MADISON AREA?
>> WE SERVE FIVE LOCATIONS
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
WE GO TO THE PARK EDGE PARK
RIDGE AREA.
TUESDAYS, LEOPOLD PARK.
WEDNESDAY, VERA COURT AREA.
THURSDAY, RHINE DELL PARK AREA
AND FRIDAY, ALLIED DRIVE.
>> WHAT A VARIETY.
SPEAKING OF VARIETY, THERE IS A
LOT OF BEAUTY AND INTEREST GOING
ON OUTSIDE THE DREAM BUS.
TELL US ABOUT THE ART WORK?
>> WE WERE EXCITED TO WORK WITH
A MADISON LIBRARY BUBBLER NAMED
RODNEY.
HE'S EMPLOYED AT WISCONSIN
PUBLIC TELEVISION.
HE'S TALENTED AND ENGAGED.
HE WORKED WITH SEVERAL OF THE
KID GROUPS IN THE COMMUNITY
CENTERS THAT WE SERVE TO DEVELOP
THE RAP.
HE GOT A LOT OF INPUT AND IT'S
REFLECTED IN THE BUS YOU SEE.
HOW LONG ARE YOU THERE FOR?
>> EACH STOP IS TWO HOUR IT IS.
WE STAY PUT AND PEOPLE CAN COME
AND VISIT AS LONG AS THEY WANT.
WE HAVE WIRELESS.
WE HAVE CHARGING STATIONS.
YOU CAN COME AND READ, COME AND
PLUG IN AND CHECK OUT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
NOW LET'S SEE WHAT JOSH IS UP
TO.
JOSH: KINDNESS.
IT'S SUCH A SIMPLE CONCEPT, BUT
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HOW
KIDS LEARN IT?
THE CENTER FOR HEALTHY MINDS AT
UW-MADISON LOOKED AT THAT VERY
ISSUE AND DEVELOPED CURRICULUM
TO HELP SCHOOLS BRING KINDNESS
INTO THE CLASSROOM.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THIS
PROGRAM IS ALL ABOUT.
[bell's tone is sustained]
- Lori: Mindfulness is really
the awareness that comes from paying attention
in a certain way.
In this particular way of:
How do I pay attention using my senses?
How do I pay attention to others?
How do I pay attention
to these emotions that are happening
and to perhaps learn ways to self-regulate.
How does your body feel right now?
- Students: Happy!
- Does anybody feel sad right now?
- Students: No!
- The more a child is able to recognize
how a feeling feels inside his or her own body,
they're better able to recognize
what might be happening for someone else.
There's that sense of,
"Oh, I understand this,"
and maybe even that sense of,
"I can do something here.
I can maybe offer some care."
So, we actually teach them
how to offer this care
to themselves, to others, to their family,
to everyone in the world.
*
[class sings "May You Be Happy" by Betsy Rose ]
* May we be happy May we be peaceful *
- The Kindness Curriculum is a series of lessons
designed to support
young children ages four-to-six.
It's 24 lessons,
one lesson built on the other.
- Marci: The Kindness Curriculum has books.
It's movement, it's singing, it's games, it's role plays,
and so, it's fun.
So, the kids associate mindfulness
with coming to have a fun, engaging lesson.
- Lisa: Teachers might see students
being able to find ways to calm down at times
where, perhaps earlier,
they didn't have that skill.
Students are more patient,
are able to wait, take turns.
There is more of a sense of community in the classroom,
more of a connection.
Students better able to share with others,
help each other,
planting seeds of kindness throughout the day.
- The sooner we can integrate some capacities
for emotional awareness and emotional intelligence
to go along with academic demands in a school setting,
the better we're going to be able to support kids
to be ready for the content
that they're being asked to attend to
at whatever grade they're in,
whatever level they're at.
- I think the biggest benefit
is that it just becomes second-nature
so that when they are in a situation
where they're stressed or scared
or mad or sad,
they have these tools
that they've already practiced,
time and time and time again.
Kids at every age
want to do well, and they want to feel loved,
and they want to show kindness,
and so, when you can give them the words,
you can give them the experiences,
you can give them the safety.
Then it just becomes second nature for them
to express it for each other.
It's really, really beautiful.
>> WHAT A GREAT PROGRAM.
TO SAY MORE ABOUT IT IS MARCY
SPEECH THE POSITIVE SUPPORT
COACH AT GLEN STEVENS.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU.
>> MY PLEASURE.
E WE GOT TO WATCH A FEW MINUTES
ABOUT THE PROGRAM.
UM EAGER TO HEAR HOW THIS WORKS.
>> IT'S A MINDFUL BASED PROGRAM
THAT TEACH IT IS SELF
REGULATION.
A BEING PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR
BODY, B IS BREATH AND BODY AND C
IS CARING.
>> EVEN THE DESCRIPTION IS
MINDFUL AND DELIBERATE.
THAT'S NICE.
YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO
SHOW AND SHARE WITH US.
>> I DO.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TOOLS WE
USE IN THE CURRICULUM.
ONE IS CALLED A CALM BOTTLE.
SOMETIMES IT HAS GLITTER AND
WATER.
SOMETIMES IT HAS OIL AND WATER.
IT'S LIKE YOUR BRAIN.
WHEN IT'S SETTLED, YOUR BRAIN
FEELS CALM AND SETTLED.
WHEN IT'S SHAKEN UP, IT'S THE
THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS IN YOUR
BRAIN.
WE WATCH IT SETTLE LIKE YOUR
BODY CAN SETTLE.
>> WHAT ARE THESE?
>> THESE ARE BELLY BUDDIES.
THE KIDS LIE ON THEIR BACKS AND
PUT THEM ON THEIR TUMMY.
WHEN THEY BREATHE, THEY FEEL THE
ANIMAL GO UP AND DOWN.
IT OFFERS FEEDBACK OF WHAT THEIR
BREATH FEELS LIKE.
>> WHERE CAN FAMILIES GO TO FIND
OUT MORE?
>> WPT EDUCATION.ORG/KINDNESS.
>> CHECK OUT THE WEB ADDRESS.
IT'S A GREAT RESOURCE.
LET'S TAKE A SEAT AND SEE HOW
THIS WORKS.
>> EVERYBODY, THANK YOU FOR
SHOWING UP AT THE PARK TODAY TO
HELP US OUT.
WE ARE GOING TO DO A SIMPLE
BREATHING EXERCISE LIKE WE HAVE
DONE MANY TIMES.
PICK UP YOUR PINWHEEL AND HAVE
IT CLOSE TO YOUR FACE.
WE BREATHE IN THROUGH THE NOSE
AND OUT THROUGH THE MOUTH,
SEEING IF YOU CAN GET IT TO GO.
IT'S NOT A RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO
DO IT.
IF YOU TURN IT THIS WAY, TRY
AGAIN.
BREATHE IN AND BREATHE OUT.
SEE IF YOU CAN GET IT TO GO
FAST.
NICE.
YOU GOT IT THAT TIME.
SEE IF YOU CAN GET IT TO GO
SLOW.
ALL RIGHT, ONE MORE TIME.
ALL OF US IN TOGETHER.
BREATHING IN THROUGH YOUR NOSE
AND EXHALE, BLOW.
GOOD.
WHY DO YOU THINK WE DO THAT?
WHAT'S THE POINT OF DOING THAT?
WHY DO WE DO THAT?
>> YOU CAN USE YOUR BREATHING TO
CALM DOWN OR FOCUS, WHICH CAN
HELP YOU IF YOU HAVE STRONG
EMOTION.
>> THAT'S SO COOL.
THANKS SO MUCH.
WPT EDUCATION.ORG/KINDNESS.
THANKS SO MUCH, EVERYBODY.
THAT WAS SO FUN.
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US HOW TO

>> SARAH: EARLIER WE LEARNED
ABOUT HOW THE PLAYING FIELD
PRACTICES CONSCIOUS DISCIPLINE.
ONE OF THE MAIN PARTS OF THAT IS
BUILDING A CHILD'S SELF-ESTEEM.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
AT THEIR CENTER, THEY DO IT BY
GIVING THE KIDS IMPORTANT JOBS.
CHECK THIS OUT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
*
>> ABBI KRUSE: "JOBS ARE REALLY
IMPORTANT AND CONSCIOUS
DISCIPLINE KIND OF LOOKS AT IT
DIFFERENT THAN TRADITIONAL
EDUCATION, SAYS OH TODAY YOU'RE
GONNA BE THE LINE LEADER AND
TOMORROW YOU CAN BE THE DOOR
HOLDER.
IN CONSCIOUS DISCIPLINE EVERY
CHILD HAS A JOB, AND IT'S THEIR
JOB FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
TIME.
AND FOR A LONG TIME, WE THOUGHT
THAT SELF-ESTEEM CAME FROM THE
OUTSIDE.
WE COULD PUMP KIDS UP FROM THE
OUTSIDE, YOU'RE THE BEST, YOU'RE
THE GREATEST, EVERYBODY GETS A
BLUE RIBBON.
AND REALLY WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT
GENERATION HAS THE LOWEST LEVEL
OF SELF-ESTEEM BECAUSE THEY'RE
LOOKING FOR THE OUTSIDE TO
AFFIRM THEM.
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING
OUTSIDE THEMSELVES TO SAY YOU
HAVE VALUE.
AND SO, JOBS ARE A WAY THAT
CHILDREN CAN BE OF SERVICE TO
THEIR SCHOOL FAMILY AND THEY CAN
BUILD THAT SELF-ESTEEM BY BEING
OF SERVICE TO OTHERS.
THAT'S WHERE SELF-ESTEEM REALLY
COMES FROM IS BY BEING SERVICE
TO OTHERS.
SARA ASPENSON: "THESE ARE OUR
BLUE HORSE CLASS JOBS.
EVERY CHILD HAS A JOB IN THE
CLASSROOM SO THEY CAN BE OF
SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY AS A
WHOLE."
MICHELLE KERN HALL: "SHE JUST
BECAME THE GREETER AGAIN WHICH
IS ONE OF HER FAVORITE JOBS.
SHE LOVES TO GREET EVERYBODY WHO
COMES TO THE CLASSROOM.
SHE LOVES GREETING KIDS, SHE
LOVES GREETING PARENTS.
SO, SHE WAS VERY EXCITED TO SAY,
OH AFTER SUMMER BREAK I'M THE
GREETER AGAIN!
AND SHE TELLS ME LIKE, OH I
OFFER THEM THESE CHOICES.
I SAY DO YOU WANT A BEAR HUG, DO
YOU WANT A HIGH FIVE, DO YOU
WANT A SMILE?
AND I GET TO GREET EVERY KID WHO
COMES IN."
>> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO HIM IF
HE WAS JUST COMING IN?
>> THIS IS MY GROUP.
>> YOU ARE THE GREETER.
HOW DO YOU GREET PEOPLE?
>> A BEAR HUG.
SARAH: JOINING US NOW TO TALK
MORE ABOUT THE PLAYING FIELD IS
ITS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ABBI
KRUSE, AND PROGRAM DIRECTOR,
MICHELLE HENNER.
>> THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING
US.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING US.
ABI, CAN UTE YOU TELL US HOW
CONSCIOUS DISCIPLINE IS
DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PROGRAMS?
>> YES, IT'S DIFFERENT BECAUSE
THE FOCUS IS ON HOW TO REGULATE
MYSELF FIRST AND THEN HELP MY
CHILD REGULATE.
I BECOME THE PERSON I WANT THE
CHILD TO BE.
I DON'T HAVE THE CHILD TO BE
PATIENT IF I CAN'T BE PATIENT.
I DON'T ASK THE KID TO HOLD HIS
TEMPER IF I CAN'T HOLD MY
TEMPER.
>> THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
MICHELLE, YOU BROUGHT CONSCIOUS
DISCIPLINE INTO YOUR HOME?
>> YEAH, I HAVE TWO KIDDOS.
I TRY TO USE THE BEHAVIOR AS AN
EXAMPLE.
INSTEAD OF SEEING BAD BEHAVIOR,
I ASSIGN THEM A JOB.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLACE THE I
TENSE WITHEUTENSILS ON THE TABLE?
I CAN GIVE THEM A JOB TO CONNECT
THEM TO THE FAMILY.
>> HOW DO YOU KEEP MOMENTUM
GOING?
YOU HAVE THE GREAT JOB.
HOW DO YOU SUSTAIN THAT GOING
FORWARD?
>> WE CELEBRATE AND SAY, HEY,
YOU DID IT.
CONGRATULATIONS.
THAT GIVES THEM THE SELF-ESTEEM
TO KEEP GOING AND DO BETTER
THINGS.
ONE OF THE WAYS IS THROUGH OUR
BREATH.
WE HAVE A DEMO.
>> WE HAVE CONSCIENTIOUS
DISCIPLINE BREATHING ICON.
THIS IS THE STAR.
WE TEACH IN MOMENTS OF CALM SO
IN MOMENTS OF UPSET THEY CAN
ACCESS THIS SKILL.
SMILE, TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND
RELAX.
THREE DEEP BREATHS CAN MOVE YOU
UP TO ANOTHER LE LEVEL OF YOUR
BRAIN.
>> WHILE YOU ARE BREATHING AND
RELAXING, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING
ABOUT?
YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT YOUR
EMOTIONS AND WHAT YOU ARE
FEELING?
>> WE ARE MAKING CONSCIENTIOUS
DECISION TO CHANGE THE INTERNAL
STATE FROM UPSET TO CALM.
WE ARE THINKING ABOUT WHAT IS
THE INTERNAL STATE.
THAT DICTATES THE RESPONSES TO
USE WHATEVER SITUATION IS THAT'S
HAPPENING.
>> THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
>> THERE ARE RESOURCES TO LEARN
ABOUT CONSCIOUS DISCIPLINE AS
WELL.
>> THERE IS A GREAT WEBSITE,
MANY TOOLS FOR TEACHERS,
PARENTS, CONSCIOUS
DISCIPLINE.COM.
THERE ARE A TON OF VIDEOS, STUFF
ON YOUTUBE.
EVEN PINTEREST HAS GREAT
RESOURCES FOR CONSCIOUS
DISCIPLINE.
>> BOOKS AS WELL, I HEARD?
>> IF PARENTS ARE WATCHING, I
RECOMMEND THE SCHUBERT BOOKS AND
SOPHIE BOOKS.
THEY TEACH ADULTS.
I HAVE LEARNED A LOT AND THE
LANGUAGE AND PRACTICE IS GREAT
IN THE BOOKS.
IF I WAS A PARENT GETTING
STARTED, THAT'S WHERE I WOULD
START.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THIS IS GREAT.
I LEARNED A LOT MYSELF.

THERE IS SO MUCH WE DON'T GET,
LIKE WHY YOU ARE SO SMALL *
*
WOAH, WOAH, WOAH
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
NOW TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL, THIS
IS NOT WORKING.
>> SAVE 15% ON YOUR HOME AND
AUTO INSURANCE.
FIVE PASSENGERS SET SAIL ONE DAY
DA, DA, DA, DA
BACK TO PBS.
THAT REMINDS ME, THOUGH, WE
BROUGHT A SEA SHAN'TY FOR YOU.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
GREAT TO SEE YOU BACK HERE AGAIN
15 MINUTES HEAR.
WE ARE EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU
THIS SONG WE BROUGHT FROM THE
EAST COAST.
IT'S A SEA CHANTE.
THEY WERE WORK SONGS ON OLD
BOATS.
TO PULL UP AN ANCHOR, YOU NEEDED
FIVE TEAM TO PULL THE ROPE AT
THE SAME TIME.
INSTEAD OF SAYING ONE, TWO,
THREE, PULL, THEY CAME UP WITH
SONGS AND EVERY TIME THEY GOT TO
A CERTAIN WORD THEY PULLED
TOGETHER.
THIS IS A SONG CALLED HAUL AWAY
JOE.
EVERY TIME THEY SAID THE WORD
"JOE" THEY PULLED THE ROAD.
WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING
SIMILAR.
WE'LL ADD MORE MOVEMENT.
WE'LL DO KIND OF THE SAME THING.
WHEN WE SING THIS SONG TODAY,
AND YOU CAN START BY SITTING
DOWN, IF YOU ARE SITTING DOWN
AND HEAR THE WORD "JOE," YOU
NEED TO STAND UP.
IF YOU ARE STANDING UP, YOU NEED
TO SIT DOWN.
WAY, HAUL AWAY, WE'LL HAUL AWAY
JOE *
*
>> I THINK YOU GOT IT.
READY FOR THE SONG?
ONE, TWO, HERE WE GO.
*
WAY BACK WHEN I WAS IN 1ST OR
2ND GRADE
WAY HAUL AWAY WELL HAUL AWAY JOE
MY FRIENDS AND ME WE SAILED THE
SEA ON A BOAT THAT WE HAD MADE
WAY HAUL AWAY WELL HAUL AWAY JOE
*
>> NICE JOB.
NOW YOU MIGHT THINK THAT SOUNDS
TOO YOUNG TO BE A SAILING CREW
WAY HAUL AWAY WELL HAUL AWAY JOE
(BUT) ALL FOUR OF US WERE EIGHT
YEARS OLD, WHICH MADE US 32
WAY HAUL AWAY WELL HAUL AWAY JOE
WAY HAUL AWAY WE WILL HAUL AND
SING TOGETHER
WAY HAUL AWAY WE'LL HAUL AWAY
JOE
*
>> GREAT JOB.
YOU CAN DANCE TO THIS PART IF
YOU WANT.
*
WE SAILED ALL NIGHT, WE SAILED
ALL DAY.
WAY HAUL AWAY WE WILL HAUL AND
SING TOGETHER
WAY HAUL AWAY WE'LL HAUL AWAY
JOE
THEN PUT TIRES ON OUR BOAT AND
SAILED TO MADISON.
WAY HAUL AWAY WE WILL HAUL AND
SING TOGETHER
WAY HAUL AWAY WE'LL HAUL AWAY
JOE
WAY HAUL AWAY, WE'LL HAUL AND
SING TOGETHER *
* WAY HAUL AWAY TOGETHER, WAY
HAUL AWAY, WE'LL HAUL AWAY JOE.
WAY HAUL AWAY, WE ARE BOUND FOR
BETTER WEATHER.
WE'LL HAUL AWAY JOE
*
>> ONE LAST DANCE GIG.
HERE WE GO.
*
* NICE WORK, EVERYBODY.
GIVE A HAND TO CHRIS.
HE LEARNED THE MANDOLIN LIKE
FIVE DAYS AGO.
WE'LL STAY IN THE SEA FOR THE
NEXT SONG.
THIS IS A SONG WE HAVE BEEN
GETTING REQUESTS FOR A LOT.
IT'S A SONG CALLED SPYRTLE THE
TURTLE.
I WROTE IT FOR KIDS IN ATLANTA,
GEORGIA WORKING ON CONSERVATION.
IT'S A FREE FORM DANCE.
YOU CAN ACT OUT THE LYRICS THAT
YOU HEAR.
IF YOU WANT TO ACT LIKE THE
OCEAN, OR IF YOU WANT TO ACT
LIKE UNDER WATER SEA CREATURES,
OCTOPUS OR WHATEVER YOU LIKE,
YOU CAN DO THAT FOR THE SONG.
*

MY FRIEND SPYRTLE IS A
LOGGERHEAD TURTLE AND SHE LIVES
NEAR A BARRIER ISLE
SHE LIKES TO EAT SHELLFISH BUT
SHE'S NOT VERY SELFISH SO SHE
SHARES ' EM WITH HER FELLOW
REPTILES.
SHE'S THIRTY YEARS OLD OR SO
I'VE BEEN TOLD AND SHE'S ABOUT
TO BE A MOTHER AGAIN
SO SHE'S GOING BACK TO JECKLE
ISLAND, ALL THE WHILE SHE'S
GONNA BE TRYIN' TO SWIM AS FAST
AS SHE CAN
MY FRIEND SPYRTLE IS A LOVELY
TURTLE SHE SWIMS AND SHE GLIDES
THROUGH THE SEA WITH ME
*
>> NICE WAVES.
NICE SEA CREATURES.
I SEE A SEA HORSE AND A TURTLE.
*
SHE'S GONNA DIG A HOLE ON THE
BEACH NEAR THE DUNES, LAY HER
EGGS THEN SWIM AWAY
SHE HOPES THAT THE BATCH WILL
QUICKLY HATCH AND THAT THEY'LL
LIVE TO LAY THEIR OWN EGGS
SOMEDAY
MY FRIEND SPYRTLE IS A LOVELY
TURTLE SHE SWIMS AND SHE GLIDES
THROUGH THE SEA WITH ME
*
IT TAKES ABOUT 2 MONTHS FOR THEM
TO RISE FROM THE DUNES
DANGER IS EVERYWHERE - THERE ARE
CRABS AND RACCOONS
WHEN THEY HATCH FROM THEIR EGGS
THEY MUST FOLLOW THE MOON TO THE
SEA
I GUESS THE CORAL OF THE STORY
(GET IT?) IS HURRY TO THE SEA
DON'T STOP FOR A BANANA SANDWICH
OR TO PET YOUR LAMA JUST HURRY
TO THE SEA
DON'T STOP TO GET YOUR CAR
WASHED (TURTLE WAX) ESPECIALLY
IF YOU'RE A TURTLE 'CAUSE
TURTLES DON'T DRIVE CARS (CAUSE
THAT WOULD BE WEIRD)
JUST HURRY TO THE SEA
AND WE SING
MY FRIEND SPYRTLE IS A LOVELY
TURTLE SHE SWIMS AND SHE GLIDES
THROUGH THE SEA WITH ME
MY FRIEND SPYRTLE IS A LOVELY
TURTLE SHE SWIMS AND SHE GLIDES
THROUGH THE SEA WITH ME
*
CAUSE I SWIM AND GLIDE TOO
>> NICE JOB, GUYS.

FANTASTIC JOB TODAY.

WE ARE GOING TO FINISH UP WITH
ONE LAST SONG.
ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR COMING OUT AND MAKING THE
DAY SO MUCH MORE SPECIAL WITH
YOUR SMILING FACES HERE.
WE LOVE TO SEE YOU.
IT'S SO EXCITING FOR ME AND
CHRIS.
>> YES.
>> WE ARE GOING TO FINISH WITH A
SONG WE WROTE FOR LAST YEAR'S
GET UP AND GO DAY, THE SHARED
THEME OF NEIGHBORLINESS.
THIS IS A SONG CALLED
"TOGETHER." FOR THIS ONE, WE
CAN HAVE A SEAT.
THIS IS A NICE REMINDER THAT
WHILE THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS
THAT WE CAN DO ON OUR OWN, THERE
ARE THINGS WE HAVE TO DO
TOGETHER.
SOMETIMES WE LOOK AROUND THE
WORLD AND SAY SOMETHING IS
HAPPENING IN THE WORLD THAT I
DON'T AGREE WITH.
WHAT CAN I DO?
IF WE SPEND MORE TIME AND ENERGY
LOOKING OUT FOR PEOPLE AROUND
US, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL
HELP EVERYBODY.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING THAT
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US CAN DO.
THAT'S WHAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT.
THANK YOU TO WPTV AND EVERYBODY
HERE.
*
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING SO KIND
TO US.
YOU MAKE US FEEL REALLY WELCOME
WHEN WE COME.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
*
WE KNOW THAT ONE HEART CAN
CHANGE THE WORLD
BUT IT TAKES TWO HEARTS TO GET
ALONG
WE KNOW THAT ONE VOICE CAN SING
A SWEET MELODY
BUT IT TAKES TWO TO HARMONIZE A
SONG
TELL ME WHAT CAN WE NOT DO
[TOGETHER]
WORKING HAND IN HAND ME AND YOU
[TOGETHER]
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, I WILL
COUNT ON YOU
*
LOOKING OUT FOR EACH OTHER
THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO
WHAT MAKES AN ACTION A FORCE FOR
GOOD
WHAT MAKES A FEW BLOCKS A
NEIGHBORHOOD
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A
PLACE A COMMUNITY
WHERE THE CHILD IN EACH OF US IS
FREE TO GROW
INTO THE PERSON WE ARE MEANT TO
BE
IT TAKES SOME CARING
IT TAKES SOME KINDNESS
IT TAKES SOME ACTION
IT MAY TAKE TIME
IT TAKES SOME EFFORT TO SEE
OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF
IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME OF YOUR
PRCHL
TRUST
IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME OF MINE
TELL ME WHAT CAN WE NOT DO
[TOGETHER]
WORKING HAND IN HAND ME AND YOU
[TOGETHER]
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, I WILL
COUNT ON YOU
LOOKING OUT FOR EACH OTHER
THAT'S WHAT WE CAN DO
DO DO DO DO DO DO DO *
* DO DO DO
