Use this worksheet with your students or children to reflect upon their activity and movement for the day. They can also track what they intend to do for activity and breathing other days of the week!

Imagine an academic year where students and educators alike grow, learn more about themselves and others, integrating mindful activities seamlessly throughout the school day. 

Imagine a classroom that is regulated, calm and present. 
Everything you need in one product. 
When practiced regularly, witness improved behavior outcomes, social skills, and overall social-emotional development of students.
We know you don’t want to have to learn another initiative.
We know you want something that works.
We know you don’t have a lot of time to spare.
Believe me, working in schools the past 17 years has taught me that educators need proven techniques that they can use simply.
We have your back and we understand the pressures of time, testing, busyness, distraction, and stress!
If you can do a little each day for yourself and your class, you will see the shift happen.

What does the shift look like?
It's returning to focus with less drama and emotional outbursts.
It’s putting a pause between impulse and action...in other words, self-control.
It’s freeing up your time from behavior management to connect with students.
It's easier transitions.
It’s learning along with your students, growing together.
It's your students feeling your love and presence.

How to Integrate Mindfulness into the K-5 Classroom is a comprehensive and practical mindfulness resource written specifically for children in grades K-5 and their teachers. Explore how mindfulness can improve self-regulation, self-awareness, autonomy, and social awareness in the classroom. Blended with proven research and best practices, this manual contains tools enabling teachers and students to build key skills like focus, compassion, and self-acceptance through mindfulness. 

Reduce Stress and Anxiety in the Classroom

Research has shown positive outcomes when we practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is proven to reduce stress and anxiety in both teachers and students alike. In the classroom, mindfulness promotes calmer students and improves both social-emotional and academic learning. 

Teachers using our resources have reported better class management and happier students! Students will be given the tools to develop their own mindfulness practice, empowering their development and relationship with themselves and others. Commit to practice mindful moments throughout the school year and watch your students grow.

Learning and Teaching Mindfulness

Developing a mindfulness practice takes time. With the proper resources, such as this manual, teachers can develop their own practice while learning how to teach mindfulness to children.

• Tips and good times for each activity

Teachers, school counselors, specialists, and social workers can use this resource as part of their daily classroom lessons and/or social-emotional curriculum. Learn eighteen mindfulness activities that can be easily integrated into your school day–as brain breaks, transitional activities, or daily lessons. Use our printable mindfulness yoga cards to practice activities at any time, at any place!
