Thank you for participating in my workshop: Mindful Moments in the K-5 Classroom.
I hope that it has sparked an interest for you in Mindfulness and that you will begin your own journey of practice! May you find gratitude as well as inner peace in the journey and be able to share what you learn with students in your classroom and beyond.
Below are links to explore in many of the areas discussed during the workshop.
As I find new ideas, I will add them to this page, so please check back from time to time!
Additionally, if you find anything new in the area of mindfulness, please send me the link! [email protected]
Enjoy!

How to make a glitter jar.
I went to Walmart and found plastic, clear water bottles. They were very inexpensive, as I recall. Under a dollar apiece. I used different color glitter in each. Walmart also sells the glitter and clear glue. I made 6 and sealed them shut with Gorilla Glue once I knew they were good to go! |
