Examples of weekly themes include empathy, kindness, humility, compassion, and gratitude. Teacher Laura Rubino holds a BA in Psychology, a Master's in Education, an NJ Teaching Certificate (K-8), and an RYT 500 Yoga Certification. Families can keep the mindfulness going at home with Ms. Laura’s weekly Mindful Minute videos on YouTube, offering playful breathing exercises, yoga poses, and calming strategies that parents and children can enjoy together.
