"Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it." -Sharon Saltzberg
My students are an amazing group of individuals who thrive on positive feedback from the world around them.
They come from diverse backgrounds and have many different learning styles, strengths, and needs. They all love to explore the world around them, are inspired by kind words and actions, and have truly wonderful, warm hearts.
Our Title I school is located in a rural town and we are a very close-knit community. Many of the families at our school have been in the district for generations.
My Project
No matter how established your personal mindfulness practice is, sometimes you can use a little extra inspiration. The mindfulness activity cards, books, coloring activities, and games that I am requesting will help my students to achieve better mindfulness practices and improve their overall emotional well-being.
When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another – and ourselves.
-Jack Kornfield
In our current state of our world, there is so much going on that can overwhelm children and cause them to lose important connections. I believe that it is my purpose as an educator to help children make those important connections so that they can gain and maintain emotional well-being. All the the materials that I am requesting will give the students stories to connect with, activities to practice mindfulness, means to help them connect with others, and outlets for stress. When you support this project today, you support the healthy well-being of the future of my students. Thank you for reading my project and for any support you can offer!
