September 2009

This is a short documentation of “what” is happening in CHILDREN Here and Now! I would like that ALL parents taking part of the project write down “simply and short” what they experience during the time with the children!
Whatever you feel is remarkable –physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually– write it down!
This material will serve to reflect for us, at least a part of, the experience our Children have when they are coming together!
For the EVOLUTION
For the CHILDREN of this planet
For the HERE and NOW
Keep it SIMPLE (;
(S) = Small STARS age 3-4

--- Baking Schokobread

----- What we need everybody finds ingredients

------ Egg how to see if Egg is raw or cooked

------ How to see if Egg is rotten

------Activate Yeast wait and patients

--- Ball play outside

2nd step making the dough
Mix all together and work out the dough with the hand (after they where WASHED!)
Interestingly not every child felt comfortable in putting the hand in the sticky dough at first… but after some time the 1rst group ha enough and went for cleaning the hand….so the 2nd group took the chance to explore the matter!
I completed the dough so the texture was right to continue and we ha TO BE PATIENT again:
They soooo much wanted to eat the Schoko Bread!

Snack time together – that always the BEST moment, since their discussions are revealing a lot about what is happening in life….

Then we got into ACTION the dough had grown and was pretty heavy everyone had a weight… we rolled it into a snake and they ha to count into how many pieces we ha to divide the dough that all have an equally BIG piece to form their Schokobread!

Each told their favorite number from 1-8 and I marked the No. on the back of the dough so each ha to recognize his number and piece of dough…
We had the choice of DARK Chocolate and WHITE Chocolate…how come they ask…could not give the anwer, but another thing to figure out….
Each made his/her own free style Bread with LOTS of Schoko in Black and white
Once done, the only question until it was baked was: WHEN can we eat our SchokoBread?”
The patience training of the ay was a tough one,

Some even pretended not to be hungry when we had lunch in between!

The day in between the projects was a BLACK MOON Battling day..
Even till the extend that Raman received a slap in the Face from Zorah!
After that storm we ha a great clarifying CIRCLE GATHERING with All the kids…
Each had his own time to bring his/her point of view about the conflicts which were and anyway are ongoing….
We agreed that hitting each other does not support in finding solutions and that no one actually LIKES being HIT.. it hurts!

We agreed to write a list of rules own for CHILDREN HERE and NOW to which we ALL going to stick to!

It was a BIG saying SORRY from both sides Raman and Zorah…

Then FINALLY after 2 hours ALL the Breads were ready…AND …...they jumped on them!
We completed the day with this yummy Tea Time!

· Free play until lunch Preparation
· Today how to make a Chicken Schnknel’(sorry vegans)
Along with that Story time I shared a story about my childhood….
They loved it and also they loved the Chicken Schnitzel – have hardly ever seeing them eating sooooooo much
· After lunch they free played ALL together and out of that we created the most funniest ‘Theatre……….
All naturally improvised and I wished we would have had the whole World as audience …….. They played Family
It was ALL there, the meeting, the wedding, the building home, the natural birth, the baby……..
The collapse of the house on the father- the reanimation of the doctor and the Happy End
Following we decided to improvise a REAL Theatre Wedding”- with make-up, costumes, stage deco music and DJ….. we had soooo much fun
Everyone was so TOTAL in his role – yet when it came to the moment where the audience (others!) arrived it collapsed….
The Groom (Roman escaped – the Bride (zorah) got embarrassed –
Conclusion: For theater we need the presents of all the Actors backstage otherwise…..NO SHOW
