This teacher guide outlines a 35-minute lesson plan focused on introducing students to mindfulness through body awareness and yoga. Key activities include the 'Magic Glitter Jar' demonstration, where students learn about how mindfulness can help calm a busy mind, similar to how glitter settles in a jar. The lesson aims for students to engage in a body scan to notice physical sensations, practice yoga poses with mindful breathing, and reflect on their experiences through journaling. Essential vocabulary such as 'body scan', 'mindfulness', and 'yoga poses' is highlighted to foster understanding. The lesson also includes a partner check-in for emotional sharing and an exit ticket to summarize personal mindfulness takeaways.
