My learners within my Resource Room need to focus, but do not have the tools to do so. When focus is lost, there is little academic growth to be had. Additionally, when a learner loses their focus, I tend to see more negative, behavioral responses. The social and emotional skills of coping with the stress of academics and the ability to regain our focus is critical to be learned at an early age. Many adults mature and still do not fully understand what it means to "Focus" and how to gain control of their own bodies. I will be teaching my students Yoga and Mindfulness practices that will help them learn 1: How to Focus, 2: How to use Breathing to regulate their emotions 3: How to use movement to regain control over their own bodies. We will need Yoga Mats to help us understand personal space while using our bodies during our Yoga and Mindfulness practices. Our Mats will also keep our bodies off of the ground during many of these practices for both comfort and hygiene purposes. The Yoga Blocks will be props for enlongating the limbs of our bodies to assist the varying sizes of students that will be participating. Blocks are also used as a prop that helps with balance, a skill that requires Gross Motor skill maturation. Great Yoga and Mindfulness books will help my students make text-to-self connections with the characters who learn lessons of mindfulness; my hope is for my students to apply these lessons in real-life! These tools will greatly help us routinely practice the important skills of Mindfulness, Focus, Patience, Balance, Reflection, and Vulnerability -- goals that we should all work towards still as adults!
