The Mindful Middle Schooler project will teach students at King Philip techniques to achieve the 3 R’s by relaxing, refocusing, and reducing anxiety and stress. In today’s society of ever improving technology, our children often experience a fast paced, over stimulating way of life. Students will be led through guided meditations and yoga postures that will focus on breath awareness and mindfulness. These sessions will be introduced and utilized throughout the day. A calm space will be set-up in the classroom for students to use during times of stress or anxiety (prior to test taking, oral presentations, etc.)
