Discovering their Inner Peace

Help me give my students tools and strategies for discovering self-regulation, meditation, and inner peace.

My Project

Now more than ever, young children across the world need specific lessons on how to manage their emotions and feelings. Due to causes beyond their control, we see children in schools today presenting with high levels of anxiety and dysregulation. Many of our young learners missed crucial years with their peers while at home necessary for building skills in emotion identification and management, sharing and cooperation, and handling conflict.

To address these SEL needs, I am looking to build upon our existing curriculum with additional times for guided mediation, journaling, and explicit lessons on building confidence and community.

Students will create their own customized pencil case and journal to engage in daily reflection. Resource books will be used to add to daily Calm Classroom meditations and Second Step lessons.
