My goal with this project is to teach my students mindfulness so that they can better cope with their test anxiety when we standardize tests. I also feel that in teaching them mindfulness we will have less disruptive behaviors, therefore allowing students to be more on task and learning. The yoga mats will be used to teach a whole class moves at one time, allowing the teacher to then come back and ground or center students with their moves. Sense of smell is a very powerful trigger, it is my hope to use the diffuser to allow the students to associate a particular smell with being calm. Many students find having a creative outlet, also can help them to calm down, the Lego squares and Legos will be used to allow creative movement in mindfulness practice.
