01:36:04
*engaging

01:36:18
How might tu b’shevat more organically flow into Purim this year?

01:36:18
I learned, again, how impactful garden education is (thanks josh)

01:36:23
what surprised me was Rabbi mentioning that it is a war crime to take down a fruiting tree

01:36:23
I did not know that there was a new year celebration for so many things: animals, plants, trees, etc

01:36:39
I thought the Tu BvShvat Seder was more recent, didn't realize it started back in Tzfat a few centuries ago

01:36:50
I’m inspired to look more closely at growing things, for longer.

01:36:53
I am thinking about ways to get the kids talking about the garden, the trees and having them tell me what interests them and amazes them.

01:36:53
Emphasizing the relationship between blessings and mindfulness are the next addition to my practice.

01:36:56
I am so inspired by this! I not only want to reflect on our garden specs but make plans for the future and what we can do to prepare.

01:36:56
This helped me to think of some ways to bring the lessons of Tu’Bshvat down to your youngest learners-in particular creating a tree opportunity in a winter classroom for Children to say the Bracha.

01:36:57
Takes Tikkun Olam - taking care of the world to a whole new level. How important we as Jewish people are to maintining the world

01:37:00
I love the quote that Josh shared. Teach the children to love the earth before you ask them to save it.

01:37:01
Loving the idea of bringing nature stories indoors and thinking that I know the perfect place to start placing them

01:37:04
Thank you to everyone who shared

01:37:08
Inspired to use photography at our school in new ways.

01:37:11
The insight that blessing - which I know is an expression is gratitude - is to lead to the experience of Love

01:37:13
I love the blessing of the 2 trees, we have a fig tree on our roof, and we can find a tree that doesn't bear fruit and compare.

01:37:18
I am thinking about the idea of annual and perennial. Seeing their impact now and leaving something behind in the space for later.

01:37:50
I loved how Josh leaned into what was puzzling about Tu B’shevat and turned it into a teacher inquiry project and documented his process and experiences with the children. Loved so much how much the children were so involved and their ideas were honored!

01:38:00
reflections upon reflections

01:38:08
something I have tried before: A year-long observation of one or two trees, with photos and other documentation. I want to get back to that. The children were amazed when buds were suddenly visible while there was snow on the ground. Thank you all!!!

01:38:10
Have never thought of this holiday as a time to remember and reflect but know I will

01:38:14
i learned that mindfulness practice is important when teaching about gratitude and love. i will use this in my own everyday life and in teaching curriculum

01:38:18
Charting the trees around our school throughout the seasons with close observations and various forms of documentation’

01:38:23
help us to become better storytellers

01:38:24
Thanks to all the presenters!

01:38:27
The statement, teach children to live the earth now so they can save it later is really resonating with me.

01:38:27
Thank you!

01:38:54
Telling stories - both from our concrete experiences as well as fantastical, creative stories

01:39:02
The idea of bringing the ideas of Vivian Paley to our children's stories sand reflections in nature to connect with Tu B'Shevat

01:39:24
I’m having trouble putting it into words but this has been incredible!

01:39:52
Loved the Tu Bshvat connection to Paley

01:39:53
thank you this was wonderful.
