As we move into the last month of the school year, it can be stressful, exciting and energetic.
Here are some mindfulness resources that might come in useful:
Mindfulness is a powerful tool that helps students learn to calm themselves, focus their attention, and interact with others in a positive way. Mindfulness practices have been found to strengthen developmental processes, increase academic performance, improve social behaviors, and decrease aggression. As educators introduce mindful techniques, students become more aware of how their bodies react to emotions, including anger and hurt feelings. They can work to manage potential conflict before it escalates. The digital resources below can help to encourage mindfulness:
- Conflict Escalator Lesson: Students learn to think about how conflicts can go from a small problem to a big conflict depending on how we respond to it.
- Meet Your Brain Video Series: Take a tour to meet the regions of your brain and learn more about how they operate!
- Go Noodle Flow Video Collection: Access high-quality and engaging mindfulness videos from Go Noodle that will have your students singing, dancing and deep-breathing along with their favorite characters.
- ChangetoChill Video Library: This program helps teens become more aware of the things that stress them out and equips them with relevant tools and resources to better manage their emotions.
