#MINDUP FOR LIFE HOW TO#

The very core of this program is the Core Practice which Lacey calls the “Brain Train” for our students. Each week our parents receive a teacher’s guide and the word of the week by Lacey, our WG Mindfulness Educator. MindUP™ is one of the most research based social emotional learning programs available and we are beyond excited to support our students in bringing these practices into our classrooms in a fun and engaging way. This program helps improve student focus, improves classroom communication, and creates harmony in the classroom.”

“ MindUP™ is a way of teaching that provides a richer learning experience for students and returns the joy of teaching to teachers. Welcome to the Mindful Words Challenge at WG, where we will be teaming up to incorporate mindfulness and teaching children the definitions of mindful words as well as introducing them daily to the core practice of the MindUP™curriculum. It is my greatest hope that every teacher that uses MindUP™ will find it beneficial in their work and their life. I wanted to help them improve student focus engagement in learning academics and give them tools and strategies that would bring joy back into the classroom. Y ou will receive a total of 9 training hours through TRIS.“I created MindUP™ with educators for educators.
