Synopsis

Who would have ever thought that in March of 2020 Schools would be shut down and teachers and students would be forced into remote learning? Fast forward to August 2020 students began the school year learning remotely. Remote learning has provided our students the opportunity to continue learning while staying safe and healthy. With or without a pandemic, it is crucial to support the emotional needs of the students. In this curriculum unit, I will provide mindfulness activities to help students regulate emotions, reduce stress, find balance and show more compassion throughout the school day.
