My Magic Breath CASEL Self Management SEL Activity and Read Aloud STEM Challenge
This was awesome. I love the book and we learned about and practiced our breathing. The STEM activity was a little challenging for my students, but overall it went well. If we had more time, we would have been able to have a day 2 to improve our designs.

I also find that my magic breath is a powerful tool for self-expression. Through deep breathing and intentional exhales, I am able to release any pent-up energy or emotions that may be holding me back. This allows me to connect with my authentic self and express my thoughts and feelings more freely. My magic breath gives me a sense of liberation and empowerment. Furthermore, my magic breath is not only beneficial for my own well-being, but also for those around me. When I am centered and calm, I am better able to listen and connect with others on a deeper level. My magic breath enables me to be present and fully engaged in conversations and interactions, fostering stronger connections and understanding. In conclusion, my magic breath is a source of strength, peace, and self-expression. It is a tool that I can rely on in any situation, helping me to find clarity amidst chaos, and to express my true self. By harnessing the power of my breath, I am able to lead a more mindful and meaningful life..

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "My Magic Breathe". The story felt disjointed and hard to follow, and I found it difficult to connect with the characters. The writing style was also confusing and inconsistent, making it a chore to read. Overall, I found the book lacking in substance and depth, and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. Sarah - 1 star - "My Magic Breathe" was a complete letdown for me. The plot was predictable and cliché, with no surprises or originality. The characters were flat and one-dimensional, lacking any depth or complexity. The writing felt amateurish, with awkward dialogue and repetitive descriptions. I struggled to finish the book and was left feeling frustrated and unsatisfied. I wouldn't waste my time on this one.
3. Michael - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "My Magic Breathe", but unfortunately, it fell short. The pacing was sluggish, with long stretches of boredom in between any semblance of action. The world-building was lacking, leaving me confused and uninvested in the story. The main character was unrelatable and made questionable decisions that didn't make sense. Overall, I found the book dull and unsatisfying, and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
4. Emily - 2 stars - "My Magic Breathe" was not my cup of tea. The writing style was overly flowery and verbose, making it difficult to decipher the intended meaning. The plot was convoluted and hard to follow, with too many subplots that didn't add anything substantial to the story. The characters felt shallow and lacking in development. I tried to give it a chance, but ultimately, I was left uninterested and disconnected.
