Reflecting on How Practicing Mindfulness & Yoga Helps Us In Our Everyday Lives & Supports Our Ability To Make This World A Better Place! #SaySomethingSweepstakes @peterhreynolds @Scholastic @resvt #Mindfulness #BeKind #Yoga #TakeActionToMakeThingsBetter #VTED

Everyday we practice mindfulness and yoga.  We took time to reflect on how it has helped us in our everyday lives.  Students shared how they have begun to practice mindfulness at home, and how this practice makes us kinder, happier, more confident people.
We created a mural that captures the lessons we have learned and the words we live by.  How can you say something and do something to make this world a better place?!?!

We Spent Time With Jane Goodall Today! It Was So Amazing To Hear Her Speak And Think About How We Too Can Make A Difference! @JaneGoodallInst @resvt @SkypeClassroom @vtkteach @kkidsinvt @RootsandShoots

Mr. Carini (A.K.A Mr. Magic) helping us get set up to "meet" Dr. Jane Goodall!  
We were soooo excited!!


Dr. Jane taught us how to speak to chimpanzees.  We loved giving it a try!


We felt so lucky to join kids from all around the world to learn from Dr. Jane about her work and how we too can make a difference!
