- We've seen a huge success with doing some mindfulness for children with our minute of silence. There's plenty of evidence to suggest that mindfulness can really help with learning. - One strategy that we can use is to use a bell where gently ringing the bell can be a nice way to introduce mindfulness to the children. --- “We’re going to do a listening activity that will help our minds relax and become more focused. First, let’s all sit up nice and tall in our seats with our hands folded in our laps (or on the desk). In a few minutes, I’m going to ring this chime, and we’re going to listen to the sound until it disappears. I find that I can focus my attention on my hearing best when I close my eyes. You can try that, but if you aren’t comfortable closing your eyes, you can lower your gaze to your hands.” - Timothy Walker in [[Teach Like Finland]]
