I keep a note in my Substitute Emergency plans to let them know where to find the Clip-on Tags in my room.

Where to keep them:

I keep mine attached to student cubby bins so that they know where to find their stuff at the beginning of the year when we are just getting accustomed to the new classroom.

They are so proud the first time they put them on! They feel so 'professional'!

How to use the name tags:

Are you looking for a way to encourage your students to be mindful? Do you like to give your kids a "brain break?' Then yoga is for you!

Mindfulness is noticing what is happening right now. Studies show that mindfulness enhances students' ability to pay attention and focus. It helps them to calm down and improves emotional well being and social skills. No wonder yoga and mindfulness go hand in hand. Yoga does all of these things and also helps to improve balance and posture, stretches and strengthens muscles and increases flexibility.

This resource includes 15 yoga poses. Each pose is on a full sheet of paper (color and black and white) with simple directions to read to the students or have them read themselves.

Each pose is also on a half sheet for using at a center, individually, or sending home (in color and black and white as well).
