My students experience busy, stressful lives in and out of the school building. As the district's social worker, one of my responsibilities is to provide my students with the skills to manage their anxiety and stress. Mindfulness teaches us to be aware of both our physical and mental state. It's cost effective, and, best of all, it is something students of all ages can learn to do! I would like to give our students an opportunity to take a few moments from their normal chaos to rest and reflect through a short, daily mindfulness practice. The yoga mats will provide a comfortable barrier to the hard surface of my classroom floor. In addition, I will facilitate weekly a small group of teens in developing mindfulness skills and self-regulation. We will utilize the mindfulness journals as curriculum and guidance through our six-week course together.
