Unnever, Marcia Lee
Designed to increase focus and nurture the essential skills every kid needs for social and academic success, the activities in this teacher-friendly book are a perfect complement to all of today's popular curricula. They're field-tested, easy to implement in as little as 15 minutes a day, and great for use in person or in the virtual classroom. When used throughout the school day, the Breathe--Move--Learn activities work fast--helping kids wake up, calm down, focus, or soothe anxious feelings.
