Social Emotional Counseling at BIS
We are happy to announce that the plaques have arrived for the three Mindfulness Benches you can see around campus, which were kindly donated by our PTA.
The students in each division chose a quote and each of the benches now displays their chosen quote on the golden plaque.
The benches are to be used for quiet reflection and as places to do some mindful breathing and self regulation, skills that our students are learning through the mindfulness classes with the Counselor. If students see another student sitting on the mindfulness bench, they should let them be and not approach or distract them.
Don’t worry, if your child is not practicing mindfulness yet, their grade level will begin in semester two.
In the meantime we can enjoy the wisdom of the students’ chosen quotes:
PYP Quote: “Breath and let be.”-Jon Kabat-Zinn
MYP Quote: “You are the Sky, everything else is just the weather.” -Pema Chödrön”
DP Quote: “ You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”-Jon Kabat-Zinn
