Help me give my students mindfulness materials such as a Tibetan singing bowl and books about mindfulness to promote a calm and thoughtful environment.
Walking into our classroom, you experience a wealth of culture, background, and language. Our students learn from, teach, and accept each other for all of their amazing strengths they have to offer. We welcome you into our day filled with love and laughter.
Our students are filled with energy and curiosity and are looking forward to harnessing that to be their best selves.
My students need the tools to make them successful in the classroom and to be excited to learn, grow, and continue to solve the problems they may face.
My Project
Kindergarten students require a lot of support around social skills and school readiness. Current research supports the idea that mindfulness has a huge impact on student learning. Students who are mindful can be more present, interactive, and reflective on their learning.
“The basic root of happiness lies in our minds; outer circumstances are nothing more than adverse or favorable.” ~Matthieu Ricard.
Mindfulness takes practice. Because of this, we are asking for a host of different books to learn about and practice mindfulness. Furthermore, we are asking for a Tibetan singing bowl to use for our time when we practice mindfulness whole group. These tools will work together to teach Kindergarten students how to stay calm, cool, and mindful throughout the entire year.
