We wanted to share a some of the mindful practices we use within Class Catalyst as a resource for teachers, parents and students everywhere. These Mindful Minutes can be shared with your staff, students and their families as these practices work for all ages.
Below are eight simple videos that walk you and your students through mindful practices. Each video is one minute long and demonstrates how each practice is done.
