* Mindfulness Monday Activity: (Reminder, these should be done with your second hour class every Monday, if you are out on Monday, please make it up with your students when you return.)

Today's video introduces deep breathing as a way of helping us when we are stressed, anxious, and frustrated.  Below is a sample of how you can introduce deep breathing to your class.

Welcome to Mindfulness Monday! Today we are going to watch a video about deep breathing.  This stuff works when you are getting frustrated with the people around you, upset about something going wrong in your day, are feeling anxious, or just feel rushed and want to take a break.

In order to get a good, deep breath, put your hand on your stomach and push your stomach out as you breathe in.  That kind of breath fills your whole body up with oxygen.. If you just fill up your lungs and you're upset, you may feel out of breath and get more upset.  So. . let's put one hand on our stomach and on the count of 3, let's get a big deep breath and push our stomach out, and then exhale through our nose.

1. . . .2. . . .3. . . (breathe with the  class).

Here is the video!
