Title: Morning Mindfulness Teacher: Kathy Feldman and Linda Zarin Grade(s): 2nd - 3rd

Day: Tuesday Fee: $100 Reg. Max: 40, Min. 20 Description: Normal stress helps develop coping skills that help navigate the challenges faced in daily living, but chronic stress overwhelms and can limit one’s ability to develop and/or apply those healthy coping skills. Students are increasingly experiencing stress from the demands placed on them within the classroom setting and, as a result, find it difficult to be able to reach their potential. Studies show that Mindfulness helps students to better regulate their emotions, attend and engage in lessons, calm their minds and bodies, be more compassionate, and demonstrate improved academic and social outcomes. In the initial class we will be introducing participants to the concept of Mindfulness. We will share how it can benefit them in their lives and facilitate a beginning personal practice of Mindful Meditation. Each week we will introduce a specific concept and facilitate discussions within the group to help them make connections to their own lives. We will use literature and writing to broaden the children’s understanding and encourage their practice outside of this morning enrichment program.
