Kristina Bothmer is someone who truly, genuinely values her students as human beings, and treats them as such - and they know it. They know that they are valued and important. Kristina understands that the little brains in her classroom are far more competent, capable, and self-aware than they are sometimes given credit for.
Currently teaching in a grade 1/2 split (or “combined”) classroom, Kristina helps her Little Brains learn about how their brains and minds work, she teaches them strategies to manage their thoughts and emotions, and has built her program around the core and practice of mindfulness.
Today, Kristina shares how she has created this mindfulness-centred program, and some tips she has for educators for their classrooms, as well as parents now at home with their children, in a time when it is so needed.
