Description

Class Experience

During this 3-day camp, students will be introduced to what mindfulness is, learn a few mindfulness techniques, and create a glitter jar to use for calming.  They will see how fun practicing mindfulness can be!

On the first day, we will start by discussing mindfulness (what it is, why it's beneficial, when to use it) to be sure they have an understanding of mindfulness.  We will then talk about ways to be mindful in our every day life, allowing learners an opportunity to share their ideas...

Students will learn about mindfulness, practice deep breathing techniques, and create a glitter jar in order to help them to be able to manage stressful situations by calming themselves.

As a school social worker, I have been working with students in preschool through 8th grade for 14 years on topics such as coping skills, identifying emotions, and practicing mindfulness.

Students will need:
A sturdy empty 16 ounce plastic bottle with a lid (for example, an empty water bottle)
1/2 cup of clear glue
1-2 teaspoons of glitter (color of your choice)
Measuring cups (1/2 cup and 1 teaspoon)
Distilled water preferred, but can use tap water (distilled water will keep the glitter jar mold-free)
Food coloring of your choice (optional)
A snack of your choice that can be eaten in small bites (for example, raisins, m&m's, skittles, etc)

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
