The students who attend my school study a dual curriculum that includes their core academic classes as well as their artistic majors. The study of art deepens the awareness of self and those around us. These students see past the surface and into the imagined worlds created by unique perspectives and enable them to truly understand how others live.
My students are forward thinking and empathetic individuals who truly care about making a difference in this world.
Their arts background makes them very unique, and their drive and dedication are unquestionable. They come from all walks of life and are very comfortable using their voices. They are diverse and proud of their diversity and will take this world on by storm.
My Project
Having a calming space inside of my special education classroom entitles my students to a quiet and safe space to decompress and find serenity. I will use the materials that are funded through this project to create a space in which my students can take a brain break or minute of mindfulness.
Due to the challenging nature of the dual curriculum, my students deserve a space where they have no academic and artistic expectations.
My students deserve a space to chill out and reflect. Having a space to learn mindfulness strategies and calming techniques will allow my students to avoid the burnout from their core academic classes and their artistic major classes.
