Mindfulness in Earth Science

Earth Science is a high school level class taught in eighth grade. To help reduce anxiety among the students, the Earth Science teachers have perceptively included mindfulness in the curriculum and seen positive results over the last year. This grant funds the transformation of part of each Earth Science classroom into a “mindfulness corner” with beanbag chairs, carpets, tables and lighting providing the students an area with a more relaxed atmosphere and supporting Hommocks’ focus on mindfulness.
