As we read in the Mishnah, the early group of "Hasidim" (pious observers) would pause for a full hour before davening in order to obtain koved rosh, meaning concentration or the appropriate frame of mind.
What helps you obtain koved rosh? What is an impediment to having koved rosh?
Think of the various locations our class has had tefillah this year (outside, the playground, the gym, the office, etc.) Were you able to "connect" in one place but not another? Which location was the most conducive to having full koved rosh? Which was the least?
