Hello and Thanks for taking the time to join me and your student on a journey to becoming more mindful.
Mindfulness is defined as: paying attention, on purpose, without judgement.
Simply put, using all of your senses to see what is happening all around you at the present moment and being alright with that moment.
At Fortis we utilize mindfulness to help students increase attention, decrease negative behavior, decrease stress, and be present and pay attention.
Hopefully your student is coming home and sharing with you the mindful activities they are learning and engaging in daily. There is a wonderful program we use to help support our mindful journey. This program is called Inner Explorer.
Inner Explorer is an easy to use mindfulness program which the teachers simply have to push play and everyone participates.
Mindfulness using Inner Explorer has been shown to reduce disruptive behaviors by 60% and increase GPA by 15%. Imagine your student feel positive, earning Purples and Greens and going from a 75% to a 90%! Who wouldn't want to see that happen for their student?!
This blog will be a monthly opportunity to take a closer look at how we connect Moral Focus with Mindfulness. This blog will help you explore mindfulness and how to utilize it at home.
Each month when you come to look at the blog it will have some general mindfulness information and then something specific to Kinder-2nd, 3rd-5th, and 6th-8th.
Here is a great link to an introduction to Inner Explorer. Inner Explorer
