My amazing students are in grades K-1 and attend school in a large, urban school district. All of my students have individual learning plans, and all have been diagnosed with emotional and behavioral disorders. These disorders may include ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and/or anxiety disorders. All of my students are significantly below grade level with their academic skills and are working hard to get caught up and be successful!
Students in my classroom come to school so excited to learn and get caught up on their academic and school social skills.
Often, they have had difficulty in their previous classroom settings. This program provides an opportunity for these young students to have a successful and positive school experience to get them on track for an amazing career of learning and growing. Help us make a difference for these students, please!
My Project
The world can be a scary place! My students arrive at school each day with a whole mind full of worries and concerns. It’s so hard to learn when your thoughts are focused on other things. I want to bring calm and centering practices to my students each day, including yoga, breathing, and journaling practices.
My wonderful students will benefit from learning meditative and focusing strategies to help them relax and be ready to learn.
Kids who are calm and feeling great are ready to do their very best learning! Please consider a donation to this project to support small students who carry a large amount of worry in their lives.
