Be Mindful

 As we slowly approach Spring Break I wanted to share some fun facts about our school's mindfulness.

We have 39 active users of Inner Explorer.

On Thursday March 19th we had 51 staff utilize mindfulness to support their students.

So far this year we have engaged in 3,159 mindfulness practices for a total of 14,025 mindful minutes.

Our Top Staff are:

1. Cords 395 

2. Sentz 323

Did you know that you have a Dashboard on Inner Explorer? The dashboard has a section called Tune In. You can utilize this to send a email to parents to connect them with the mindfulness practice your class engaged in that day. You can send mindfulness home!

You also have a section on your dashboard called Tool Kit. This has journaling pages, case studies, statistics, and more. In this section you can learn that mindfulness benefits educators, reducing stress by 43% because mindfulness can help reduce behavior concerns by 60%.

This year Inner Explorer has given us the opportunity to try STEM +M. This has science lessons that meet standards and include mindfulness. This is for grades 2-4.

If you utilize the grade level 5-7 you can choose short or long mindfulness practices.

You do not have to stay in your grade level, you can explore younger or older.

If you need a quick mindfulness try a sound or transition practice.

If you need a moment try the educator well-being series. 

It is never too late to start a mindfulness practice.
