The object of this cotton ball breathing exercise is to blow a cotton ball from the palm of your hand to the tips of your fingers without it falling off. The first time I handed each of my students a cotton ball and explained the activity, they looked at me like I was a little crazy. However, once they began the activity I could see a calm fall over the classroom. I saw the same calmness spill over this morning before their assessment. This breathing technique allows students to clear their minds and solely focus on that little cotton ball.
