Practicing mindfulness in French class

 

The past 2 years have perhaps been the most stressful years of schooling that our students will ever experience. The distancing, increased rules, changing delivery methods and uncertainty were difficult for teachers, families and students. We will likely continue to have students in our classes who will have lasting effects of anxiety and stress. To help our students heal and teach coping skills that can be used throughout life, we will need continued understanding and strategies to incorporate stress-relief teaching into our classroom routines. All teachers know that children learn best when they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed.
