At East Prairie, the purpose of “mindfulness” is to acknowledge what is going on and be aware of it. We teach, and seek to live these practices ourselves, to gain a greater sense of control over thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as, teach our brains new and better ways of thinking and functioning (Silver & Stafford, 2017; Wolkin, 2015).
These ongoing schoolwide sessions bring us together in unique and creative ways, fostering both community and enhanced self efficacy.
And oh yeah...the primary session was entirely student led. Way to go 2nd grade! Thanks for helping us to Breathe like a bear!
