Mindfulness ~ in Classrooms and Libraries; Resources to Help Bring Out the Best in Our Kids

     I have been reading about mindfulness in teaching and was happy to stumble on a link via Twitter to a blog post called "Mindfulness in the Library".
    It has good information and links to articles. I can't wait to finish and begin to practice some of the techniques. Kids, and everyone, are so busy today, so involved that sometimes all it takes it calming down and refocussing them to bring out the best.  :)
   Two books I am reading go along with the idea of mindfulness in the classroom/library.
They are below. I am enjoying them both although each comes from a different place - one is based on eastern philosophies and one has more western spirituality. Both want to help teachers and adults bring out the best in our children.
