Kindergarten students have busy, busy bodies. Sometimes, those busy bodies make it tricky for them to learn! I recognize that all children need play, but sometimes they also need to practice sitting still. I use yoga and mindfulness in my classroom to help my students refocus when it's time to transition from play to schoolwork. Currently, our classroom has harsh fluorescent lights. Research has found that fluorescent lights actually make it more difficult for students to learn. With this in mind, I'd like to use floor lamps and table lamps instead. I have also started implementing YogaCalm with my students. Two tools that are very useful in YogaCalm are a chime and a Hoberman sphere (breathing ball). YogaCalm allows for student-led calming exercises, and I can't wait to give them the tools they need to lead them!
