This year, I have shared many different things with my students in order to help them learn skills that will stick with them for life. \r\nWe have practiced breathing techniques like box breathing, deep belly breathing, power huh, and shakedown. Some of these include sitting still with our thoughts and emotions and some use body movements to ground us into the moment. We practice affirmations to help ourselves focus and regularly think about gratitude for ourselves and others. \r\nHaving donors like you help make teachers, like me, feel supported and like what we do matters.
