Our classroom Mindfulness Palette in action #Mindfulness #SEL

[SchoonScience @SchoonScience]

Students are constantly drawn to using the Mindfulness Board located in our classroom! It provides students with a few relaxing moments to paint with water and watch it slowly evaporate away! #SocialEmotionalLearning #Mindfulness
