Heritage Middle School Artists Study Mindfulness

Students in Ms. McCarthy’s class have been studying Social Emotional Learning. Students colored inside Mandalas with Oil Pastels on felt. This is a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy technique for achieving a calm and focused state of mind. According to one student, this technique allowed them to “slow down” and focus their thoughts.
