A look inside J. Mason Tomlin School\u2019s new mindfulness class<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>This year, as part of its Encore rotations \u2013 which include physical education, art, media, etc. \u2013 the school started a Social and Emotional Learning class, which aims to cultivate a caring, participatory and equitable learning environment and evidence-based practices that actively involve all students in their social, emotional and academic growth, according to its website.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really part of our goal of educating the whole child. As a district, we were looking at kids who are stressed out, staff is stressed out, we\u2019re trying to improve the school climate,\u201d said J. Mason Tomlin\u2019s mindfulness teacher Diane Bonagura.<\/p>\n

One of the yoga poses students practice is the warrior position, which is considered a \u201cpower\u201d pose. After the movements, when students were asked what they wanted to be a warrior for, one student said she wanted to be one for a better world. Another expressed that he wanted to be one for his sister, who was sick.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat just almost proves how much is on these kids\u2019 minds,\u201d said Supervisor of Curriculum and Technology Theresa Labbree.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Students take a portion of the class to journal their thoughts and goals within the curriculum\u2019s units, which are courage, gratitude, forgiveness and compassion.<\/span><\/p>\n

The district\u2019s approach to this class infuses the social and emotional learning program with the Choose Love Curriculum, a no-cost infant, toddler, and pre-k through 12th-grade SEL program that teaches educators and their students how to choose love in any circumstance and helps them become connected, resilient and empowered individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The curriculum was created by Scarlett Lewis, the mother of Jesse Lewis who was killed, along with 19 classmates and six teachers, in his first-grade classroom during the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the school began the class, it set aside an empty room to be used for a mindfulness and movement area. Teachers would have to sign up on a schedule, including Bonagura and her special education students.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the room became popular among staff and students, the school decided to expand it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe class seems so well received from not only the teachers, but the parents in the community,\u201d said Labbree. \u201cThe students want to come here.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
