On Nov. 19, Connetquot High School students visited Edward J. Bosti Elementary School for a workshop on mindfulness. The collaborative event introduced the elementary students to various mindfulness techniques aimed at promoting well-being, emotional awareness and gratitude. Students from Connetquot High School’s Psychology and Mindfulness in Music with Peer Mentorship classes organized and led a series of interactive stations where the Bosti students explored different mindfulness practices. At one station, the high school students guided their elementary peers in writing down things they were thankful for on fall-themed worksheets, which they then colored in. The exercise helped students reflect on what they appreciate and how gratitude can be a powerful tool in maintaining a positive mindset. At another station, students gathered in a circle to play a game of “Pass the Pumpkin,” similar to “Hot Potato,” where they shared something they were thankful for when the music stopped. Music also played an essential role in the mindfulness workshop. Students learned how different sounds can affect emotions by experimenting with a variety of instruments, including a rain stick, chimes and a wooden percussion frog. Students also learned various breathing techniques for reducing stress and centering themselves. This hands-on experience not only benefited the elementary students, but also offered Connetquot High School students the opportunity to engage with their younger peers, model positive behaviors and create lasting connections.

Students in Señor Bedell’s second through fifth grade classes at Idle Hour and Bosti elementary schools embraced Mexican culture by learning about Día de los Muertos through crafts, authentic activities and age-appropriate videos. Additionally, at Bosti, Mrs. Kimball read a Día de los Muertos book in Spanish to third grade students. Here’s what each grade created: Fifth graders crafted vibrant Alebrijes, colorful animals inspired by artist Pedro Linares. Fourth graders made papel picado, a traditional perforated paper decoration. Third graders completed a collaborative calavera “skull” poster, while second graders drew calaveras and La Catrina, the iconic “lady in a fancy hat”, designed by José Guadalupe Posada This hands-on approach helped students explore the rich traditions of Día de los Muertos in a creative and engaging way.
