My Project
Last school year, I worked diligently to promote mindfulness in my First- Grade classroom. For the upcoming school year, I’d like to expand the mindfulness activities in my classroom by introducing breathing balls, diffusers, and other items to create a mindful classroom. This is part one of the mindfulness project series for my students.
I believe that daily mindfulness activities that include focused breathing and relaxation techniques help students to be more present, regulate their thoughts and emotions, and help them to connect and show compassion for self and others.
I believe that mindfulness activities help to promote positive mental health and we need to start when children are young.
The expandable breathing ball is an excellent visual aid to help students with their deep breathing which will bring calm, focus, and stress relief. The diffuser, essential oils, and other items will promote a calm and relaxing classroom environment.
The students will use the Clorox wipes to sanitize the breathing balls. Having Kleenex tissues on hand is always a good thing with young children!
I thank you in advance for your generous donation to help me bring and sustain mindfulness in my First-Grade class.
More than half of students from low‑income households
