Integrating Mindfulness in Your Classroom Curriculum | Edutopia:

This article describes four simple ways to incorporate mindfulness into the classroom through breathing, through sensory experiences, through guided imagery, and through movement.  Deep breathing helps to calm the body and mind, especially when facing a stressful situation.  Sensory experiences such as using playdough and creating glitter jars in the classroom are a few ways to help calm our students.  Guided imagery works well when students' eyes are closed and they are listening carefully to a calm story or a visual journey their mind is walking them through.  Movement such as yoga is another calming strategy that uses stretching and focuses on how the body moves/feels.
