Behaviorally Challenged Students Need Relaxation Skills

My students need CD's, a set of 101 Relaxation Games for Children and lavendar scented oil to learn and practice relaxation and self-regulation skills, in order to improve behavior and lagging academic performance.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rebecca's classroom raised $184

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our elementary program serves students with the highest levels of behavioral and emotional needs in the district. Our students are attending this program because their behaviors are dangerous to themselves or to others - these behaviors have had a very negative impact on their academic performance.

We are a small, self-contained site with a very high teacher-student ratio.

Our families live in a large impoverished urban community and struggle with issues such as homelessness, addiction, instability and neighborhood violence. Last year, many of our families were affected by a tornado that destroyed many city blocks near our school. In order the learn the academic material so necessary to success, our students first must learn strategies to help them deal with the stress and tumult in their young lives, and help them manage their behavior.

My Project

With the tools we have requested, we will be able to offer our students weekly yoga and relaxation classes. These classes will be an opportunity for students to be in a safe supportive space, to learn and practice stress-reduction strategies, to build community and develop self-awareness. The students will then be able to apply these skills in the classroom, in the home and in the community.

Having these relaxation tools and resources at our program will support our goals of improving student self-regulation, self-esteem, behavior and academic success.

Our students will have the opportunity to practice these skills and then apply them in the classroom and at home.
