Festive Winter Christmas Mindfulness SEL Week long Unit
Welcome to your weeklong unit for SEL and Mindfulness in black & white and color! Practicing mindfulness is like giving your brain a superpower! It helps us pay attention to what's happening right now, like how we feel, what we see, or even the sounds around us. It's important for students because it gives us a break from the busyness of school and life. When we practice mindfulness, it's like hitting a pause button for our minds. It helps us handle stress, feel calmer, and make better choices.

About the store
Experience
I have been a classroom teacher for the past 11 years in various capacities and grade levels. I have taught students from diverse backgrounds in the Arctic, Northern Canada and
Abu Dhabi, UAE. In each class that I have taught, I have facilitated thinking, self-management, communication, and the social and research skills that students need to become self regulated, internationally minded, learners.
Teaching style
It is my belief that all children are capable of academic growth. My experience working in multi level classrooms, with students having special needs, has reinforced this way of thinking. My teaching experience and additional qualification course work has made me understand the dire need to inclusively deliver curriculum to meet the specific educational and socio-emotional needs of students, especially those in learning support and learning English as an additional language. I pair cultural values with curriculum in lesson plans and my daily teaching practice. I am comfortable accommodating and modifying curriculum to suit the needs of students of determination so that they can achieve academic success. I also build a healthy level of self-confidence in my students by teaching growth mindset in my classes.
