Embark on a heartfelt journey as we explore the gentle Blue Zone, diving into the realm of sadness. Join me for an enchanting reading of "The River" by Tom Percival, where students will discover the power of emotions and find ways to unfreeze their sadness.

In this class, my mission is to guide students in recognizing expressions and body language associated with the Blue Zone while engaging in interactive activities. Inspired by "The River," we'll explore practical and age-appropriate strategies to navigate and thaw frozen feelings of sadness. Let's turn the Blue Zone into an opportunity for growth and resilience!
