Mindfulness is important because it teaches students as well as adults coping skills on how to relax and not be stressed; it also helps with focusing and helps with emotions. Having the essential resources to teach Mindfulness will help students relax and be able to perform better in school. I am requesting Mindfulness card sets that will help students discuss their feelings and a daily journal that can be shared with teachers to start each day with a quick activity. Several of our students are still dealing with the after-effects of Hurricane Harvey and being able to share their emotions through these structured activities will be very helpful. Resource books for teachers and activities for students will help introduce Mindfulness to our school. Social and emotional learning is important because it focuses on social awareness and builds relationship skills. It also helps with managing emotions and decision making. The fidget toys will help some students to focus in class or relieve anxiety. The play-dough and bubbles will help calm and redirect behaviors. Students will be recognized with awards for Student of the Month, behavior pencils, erasers, pins, and medals. Thank you for helping me share Mindfulness and Social and Emotional learning activities with my teachers and students. Our entire campus will benefit from using these new resources to stay calm and focused anytime, anywhere.
