Mindfulness has become very popular because it helps people become calm when they are agitated, focused when they are not able to pay attention, and generally feel better whenever they want to. It can help students with their schoolwork, their social activities (in person and online), performances, sports activities, eating better and sleeping better.
Ms. Israeloff is sharing lessons from the Mindfulness class she teaches at school, so that you can learn about Mindfulness or remind yourself about the Mindfulness practices. She will share a new one every week, but they can be watched in any order once they are on the web page.
Art and writing are other helpful creative outlets to express your feelings and become more calm. Ms. M-L will be posting a new expressive arts activity every week. These activities can be done everyday, once a week, or whenever you are feeling the need for a creative outlet to express your feelings and relax. Enjoy!
