Peace Playlist
EVERYDAY RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES
The Peace Program in District 170 focuses on social and emotional learning, restorative practices, conflict resolution and mindfulness. Through activities, skills building and modeling we teach these life skills - identifying how I feel, regulation of feelings, social awareness, responsible decision making and relationship skills. We work with students who have received an in school suspension and also with classes throughout the District. As a way to serve students and families we have recorded and placed activities on a playlist. Please feel free to contact us with any questions at peace-program@sd170.com. We are here to assist you!

Breathing
You CAN control your breath. Make it a practice to focus on breathing at scheduled times three times a day, for example prior to school, after lunch and at the end of the school day. In addition, you can also pause to do a breathing activity when you need to focus or to help you regulate your feelings.
