We have begun our Mindfulness Body Study in Room 10. Fifteen students were asked to participate in this study. They can be Mindfulness leaders in their classrooms! Today we studied the AMYGDALA. That is your body's security guard. Your amygdala is there to keep you safe. It reacts FAST. If there is serious danger, it will help you run, freeze, or fight back. Today we chose icons to represent our security guards. Some chose the Hulk, Superflex, Supergirl, Minecraft Characters, Enderdragon and some other creative ideas. We drew and colored the characters to help us understand that we all have our amygdala but HOW we react dictates how well we succeed in life. We watched a video "Calm Down and Release the Amygdala" that you can find on Youtube. I recommend watching it with your family if you would like to know more about your body's security guard!
