Elementary Teachers/Counselors:

Parents with young children:

• Practice some new cooking techniques with your kids! Having them help you will help them to feel ownership over what they are eating and can be a fun, new way to spend time as a family.

• If your student is learning from home, give them breaks between classes to move their bodies.

Secondary Teachers/Counselors:

• When beginning a google hangout with your class, open one of the calming visuals and share your screen. Students will be welcomed into your virtual hangout in a relaxing way.

• Take the first 5 minutes of class, whether virtually or in person, and invite all students to participate in a short mindfulness exercise. This will help everyone to take some time to refocus and regulate, in order to feel more ready to learn.

• Embed this site as a link in your Bitmoji classroom.

• Use one advisory/homeroom to explore one page of the calming room. Next time you meet as an advisory class, explore another page of the calming room.

• Add a hyperlink to your Advisory's Schoology page for students to easily access.

Teens:

• Feeling overwhelmed? Try a meditation practice at the beginning or end of your day to help your mind and your body find calm and quiet.

• Take breaks between classes by doing a few minutes of yoga.

Adults:
