Being Strong and Healthy to Be Smart in Learning!

My Project

This is my seventh year that I have been teaching at a Title I school. All my students are from low-income households. My Kindergarten class currently has 25 students, with more on the way. I love all my students so much. I want to give them healthy minds and healthy bodies as well. The yoga mats and water filter dispenser and paper cups will serve my students for the yoga time every Friday morning and for the daily recess time. Materials like the glue gun and glue sticks will be used to decorate the classroom and display my students artwork.
