School can definitely get stressful. Teachers might give you big projects, a lot of homework, or it’s just hard to keep up with everything. If that’s you, you should consider joining the yoga, meditation, and mindfulness enrichment. This enrichment gives you time at the end of the day to calm down, relax, and chill. Yoga also benefits you physically and mentally as well as meditation.
The FRS Times interviewed teacher Leah Murphy about the enrichment.
Tell me what a typical day in enrichment looks like.
So for the enrichment, we try to break up the days. So on Tuesdays, we usually do some sort of guided meditation, and then on Thursdays, we do a yoga video, and then on Fridays, we usually set up a couple of stations to just do calming fun stuff.
How do you feel about your enrichment class this year? Do you enjoy teaching this enrichment class?
I think it’s fun because it’s something that I’m interested in, but some of the students aren’t interested in it but are in here anyway. So that’s kind of a bummer sometimes.
Are enrichment necessary?
I think enrichments are great because they give students something fun to do at school or something to look forward to. I also feel like students have engaging lives and hobbies they’re interested in and I don’t know if the enrichment system always provides an opportunity for students to do those hobbies just cause certain enrichments are more popular.
Students of this enrichment were also interviewed by the FRS Times.
Do you like this enrichment class? Why or why not?
Ashley Lim: I think I kinda like it, it’s like kinda fun and relaxing in a way.
Camille Reburiano: I like this yoga enrichment because it makes me feel relaxed and calm.
What new things have you learned in this enrichment?
Jayden Luo: I learned to be mindful, be calm, and to take deep breaths on tests.
Everyone has a bad day sometimes so it’s important to know how to be in a calm state when that happens. It can also be such a calm and relaxing enrichment if you participate in it. So would you like to join this enrichment now?
