We are excited to introduce MindUP for Life in our elementary classrooms this year! Our school counselors will visit classrooms to teach engaging, age-appropriate lessons that support students’ social and emotional growth.
Through MindUP, students will learn simple strategies to help them understand their emotions, manage stress, focus their attention, and make thoughtful choices. Lessons will also encourage kindness, empathy, gratitude, and positive relationships.
Students will practice skills such as mindful breathing, identifying feelings, calming their bodies and minds, and pausing before reacting. These are tools students can use at school, at home, and in their everyday lives.
We encourage you to ask your child about what they are learning during MindUP lessons and to practice some of these strategies together at home.
We look forward to partnering with you to help our students grow into confident, caring, and resilient learners. If you have any questions about MindUP for Life, please feel free to contact your child’s school counselor.
