My Students
The majority of my students come from low, socio-economic backgrounds and 85% qualify for free/reduced price school lunch.
My diverse Kindergartners represent a plethora of cultures and linguistic backgrounds and all of them have something special to share with us!
My students are: Latino, Arabic, Vietnamese, Filipino, Nepali, African American, Italian, Filipino/Caucasian/Cambodian, and American Indian/Caucasian.
They are all energetic and eager learners in our Kindergarten classroom. We are learning to be safe, responsible, and respectful in our classroom and school!
My Project
I want to encourage finding peace and calmness in our Kindergarten classroom through Yoga, poses, and other relaxing exercises.
When students feel calm and happy, they learn better, think better, and live better.
In our world of so many unknowns, it would benefit students to be able to find peace and relaxing activities that will help them cope with their emotions and their energy.
The tennis balls will be placed in a sock and the students will use them to massage their hands, fingers, and legs. This will give them some self-calming and relaxing skills to use throughout the day. They will learn to self-monitor and calm when they feel they need to.
The yoga blocks and yoga cards will be used to learn yoga stretches and alternative comfortable seated positions, and build focus and stamina with holding poses. The organizers will help to keep our tennis balls and Yoga blocks organized and in a designated space in the classroom so students can independently have access to these tools.
The yoga books will be read aloud and be available for the students to learn about yoga and learn poses in a fun, motivating way. This will also introduce breathing techniques and calming mind techniques for the students to use.
I envision our classroom have yoga or relaxation breaks throughout the week to help refresh our minds and bodies. I want students to be able to self-monitor their emotions and be able to have an outlet to take a relaxing break, do a quiet exercise, or sit and think quietly by themselves.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
