DESCRIPTION
Are your students facing these challenges:
- Focusing on school work
- Following directions
- Managing emotions
- Remaining calm
- Being kind to others
Mindfulness is the learned ability to pay attention to one thing. It’s hard for kids because they are faced with a world of powerful distractions and no one has taught them HOW to pay attention…until now!
Beth & Scott's Mindfulness Matters is K-6 assembly program that uses music, humor, movement and lots of practice to teach students and teachers how to :
S – Stop for a moment
T – Take a breath or two
O – Observe your surroundings and your body
P – Pick the best choice and proceed
Mindfulness Matters helps to identify and work with emotions, improves listening and seeing, and teaches how to move and choose with purpose. Mindfulness Matters is designed to be taken back into the home, after-school activities, or playtime right away, so you can see an immediate improvement in your students.
