      <title>Classroom Nature Breaks; SEL by Five Rivers MetroParks</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/fiveriversmetroparks/mbtd9zxen0qo10kh</link>
      <description>Take time to relax, and feel our connections with the natural world. From meditating by a stream, watching animals, experiencing the wind, and practicing yoga, your students will explore their connections with the natural world, while learning more about themselves. Resources will help use nature as a way to regulate emotional control, grow empathy for other living things, and ultimately to learn how to respect other human beings.</description>
