what usually goes on in this room? >> so, i teach language arts and english language development and also do advisory. today we are going to do gratitude and some goal setting for academics and also do mindfulness. we are one of the only schools that has someone that does yoga and plans mindfulness for us. >> we are going to do breathing and we are going to do meditation or visualization. and the connection with their peers which they have been missing so much during the pandemic and remote learning. >> we want to make sure that we cushioned it to really focus on the social emotional piece. >> parents who are saying this is a waste of time. we shouldn't be doing this. with kids they should be focusing on academics. you might wonder what the kids saabout it. i talked to a lot of them.
