Mindful walks create a rhythm to trauma informed instruction. 🚶‍♀️🥁
•
•
It’s a Tuesday morning and the sunshine sparkles off the snow outside of Oak Ridge Elementary School of Leadership, Environmental and Health Sciences. The school starts each morning with 15 minute Mindful Walks around the school campus. Here is the structure one second grade classroom uses to make these mindful moments meaningful.
•
•
Read our blog post for three tips to add this routine to your day successful! (Hint: create a beginning, middle and ending)
•
•
We know that a trauma informed lens utilizes rhythm- beginnings, middles and endings. Predictability. Structure. Someone may look at this daily routine and wonder about the time commitment. However, some of the latest research shows an average teacher requires 45 minutes of redirection time a day due to emotional breakdowns. We know that most students do not enter the classroom ready to learn. Routines like Mrs. B’s Mindful Walk allow for students to come in as they are, and join the rhythm of the school day.

🙏GRATITUDE🙏
•
•
As educators we work to weave in social emotional learning to our school day. Helping students navigate big emotions, such as gratitude, can be supported with body work and movement.
•
To start this routine, students stay seated in the their chairs and move the spine in all six directions (back bend, forward fold, side stretches and twists). The heart opener backbend especially can help students tap into a place of gratitude.

We had a wonderful day at our Move Mindfully workshop in the School District of Somerset. •

Mindfulness representatives utilized the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Mental Health Grant to bring this work district wide! 💫

The thought of “school wide implementation” can feel 😬
•
Our Move Mindfully visuals allow for interventions throughout the entire tiered structure- creating sustainability and fidelity.
•
Behavior interventionists can pull students for a quick Move Mindfully break posted in any hallway. Huge bonus... doing it together promotes co-regulation! 👩‍👧

🔨Build Connection⛓
This is one of our favorite Morning Meeting activities! Students act as a mirror image and take turns as leader and follower. (Swipe for video)
•
Ready to level up? Try the same game in Tree 🌳
•
Students don’t need to touch or talk, but can still build a sense of connection. Taking turns as leader and follower can be used deliberately throughout the day to encourage difficult partnerships. •

Let’s talk 🚶‍♀️T r a n s i t i o n s 🏃‍♀️
•
Successful transitions can make or break the school day! 😬
•
Work to hallway. Recess to learning. Bathroom to quiet work time. We start and stop activities a lot during the day! In When the school day has a rhythm and activities are given proper beginnings and endings, more learning can occur. Here are four strategies for successful transitions.
•
1️⃣Belly Breathing
We practice student-led belly breathing before each whole group academic learning time. Students prepare by putting one hand over their belly and one hand on their heart. One student leads the breaths with the sphere while another counts in a slow, calm voice. •
2️⃣Mountain
The expectation in our class is that students are facing forwards, with voices off and hands to themselves, so that we are safe and calm to travel in the hall– and I’m sure these expectations are familiar to most elementary school teachers. Cuing mountain before we enter the hallway means that we are showing respect to ourselves and those around us. Every time we line up, we go into mountain. I explain that mind strength is another word for self-control.
•
3️⃣Chair and Eagle
My students practice the chair and eagle poses after a bathroom break. Chair pose makes their big leg and arm muscles work, and eagle pose has them crossing the midline of their body– which prepares their brain for our literacy block after the break. Check out the Move Mindfully® Transitioning Routine for a great poster visual for the hallway.
•
4️⃣Releasing Breaths
We practice Yoga Calm®’s Volcano Breath and Woodchopper to release throughout the day. Volcano breath is great after PE, lunch, recess, buddy classroom , and assemblies because it calms and centers us, regulates our breath and brings the group together and ready for what is coming next. •
These tips will create a more peaceful and seamless flow to your day. And, when we breathe together, everyone wins! What transition strategies have worked for you? •

Mindful. Present. Humble.
•
We often start our workshops by asking teachers to set an intention- a thought or feeling that can carry you through the day. We model (and recommend) a set of three.
•
Try it with your students too! •
PS- how much are you loving these positive graphic tees? 😍Happy Tuesday!
