Mindfulness in the classroom…

First of all, what is mindfulness?

Mindfulness and the middle schoolers

  • a powerful tool to calm the mind,
  • deal with stress,
  • help teens get a grip on their feelings and what they’re thinking about.

Mindfulness can be very useful during transition times!

  •  try to practice it
  • kids will shift their focus to something new.

Mindfulness Activities 

  • Breathing Exercises: 
  • Meditation Activities: 
  • Go for a Walk:
  • Yoga Activities:
  • Mindful Dancing:

The ultimate goal of mindfulness is to teach teens to have awareness of themselves and their emotions and then to learn how to better realize and recognize life as it is

Screencast

What’s a screencast?

Is it a screen recording?

Or maybe a video screen capture?

They are all the same!!

These words referred to a digital recording of computer screen output. (Definitions from Oxford Languages)

In a classroom setting, this can be very helpful because we can record the learning materials, and provide the video to the students to learn at a later time.

During this class, we learned to use the program “Screencastify” which allows us to capture what we do!
