Abstract
This study aimed to research how engaging with mindfulness-based activities improves young learners' social/emotional well-being and attention to tasks. I hypothesized that students who engage in mindfulness activities will be more aware of their social/emotional well-being and more attentive to the present moment. I tested this hypothesis by completing a Kinder Behavior Rubric (Kinder Associates LLC, 2007) on each participant pre- and post-intervention and by having each participant complete a Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (Greco et al., 2011). The mindfulness-based intervention is from Sitting Like a Saint: Mindfulness Activities for Kids (Bottaro & Bottaro, 2019). These activities were done daily over several weeks. I intend to complete this study with 21 first-grade students. The collected data were analyzed to determine how participating in mindful listening activities improves social/emotional well-being and attention to task.
