"Research has proven that mindfulness practice integrates the brain and strengthens the important executive functions that support emotional and social intelligence as well as academic success. Mindfulness is a natural way to set them on the right course not only now, but for the rest of their lives" Daniel J.Siegel M.D Many of my students struggle with stress, anxiety, poor self-regulation skills, poor self-awareness, and poor social skills. Help me give my students books to help them cultivate a mindfulness practice. These struggles can negatively impact learning, behavior, physical, and mental health. Mindfulness practice helps students learn how to pay attention to their bodies, feelings, and breaths which has shown an overall improved effect on academic performance I will use these mindfulness books to help my students to understand compassion, being present , emotions, and mindful breathing. The books will be placed in our peace corner where they can go and read quietly. In addition to mindfulness practices my students will learn about their brains. We will use the brain model to identify the different parts of the brain and what they do. I will teach my students weekly mindfulness lessons and incorporate practices throughout the day. These materials will be so beneficial for my students.
