Mindfulness can help children improve their abilities to pay attention, to calm down when they are upset and to make better decisions. In this hour long class, students will learn that mindfulness is an awareness or focus on our thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Mindfulness can regulate emotions and have a calming effect. We will practice three mindfulness activities: Moving- Given the prompt "You are walking on a pond that is frozen over with a thin sheet of ice," students will practice being mindful of their movements. We will bring awareness to their movement through discussion. Listening- Students will listen closely to the sound of a mindfulness bell as the noise becomes softer and softer. Breathing- Students will explore the "balloon breathing" technique through visuals, demonstrations, and practice.
Learning Goals
Students will learn that mindfulness is an awareness or focus on our thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Students will be able to complete three mindfulness activities: moving, listening, and breathing.

Hello everyone! My name is Bailey and I am a licensed teacher based in North Carolina.
