MINDFULNESS AT SOLOMON ELEMENTARY

 

What is Mindfulness at Solomon?! Mindfulness for elementary students is a wonderful practice that helps young minds develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, and an overall sense of well-being. It's like a mental exercise that promotes being present in the moment and embracing the beauty of each experience. During their Social Emotional Learning class, kids engage in mindfulness through activities like mindful breathing, where they take deep, calming breaths to feel more centered. They might also practice "mindful listening" by paying close attention to soothing sounds or even the rustling of leaves during outdoor sessions. And let's not forget mindful coloring, where coloring isn't just about art, but a chance to concentrate and express creativity. It's a delightful journey of self-discovery, filled with smiles and a brighter outlook on life!
