My classroom can be a place of chaos and concern, yet other times, my students are tired or underwhelmed. Maybe they are just a little too antsy that day and are having trouble calming down. Essential oils can help my students either way. Using essential oils in my classroom, I hope to reduce undesirable behavior, calm students, clear unpleasant odors, boost mood, and sharpen mental focus. Alternate Lighting It can be hard for kids to control their emotions or frustrations throughout the day, and I teach them that breathing and being mindful can help them cope.

Studies have shown that lighting quality affects students’ abilities to see clearly, concentrate, and perform well in the classroom.
