About this resource

Older students carry a lot into class: tests, friendships and busy evenings. These mindfulness bookmarks in the watercolor nature set give Grades 3–12 a small pause each time they open a book. Soft watercolor scenes, including a misty forest river, cherry blossoms and a lighthouse, sit behind hand-lettered script. The messages practice breathing and noticing, a Self-Management skill, as a calm SEL routine.
