Abstract

Mindfulness is an effective way for educators and students to manage their emotions, as well as reduce stress and anxiety. When implemented, mindfulness practices help students focus on the present moment and regulate their emotions. This article will first define mindfulness and explain how teachers can incorporate mindfulness strategies into an elementary classroom setting. Next, it examines mindfulness programs that school districts are using throughout the United States. Then, it explains social emotional learning and activities that support these practices within the classroom. The article concludes by offering outcomes and implications for mindfulness. Through mindfulness techniques, students can foster a positive environment and improve their social and physical well-being.
