Kids Need Yoga Supplies

Help me give my students yoga mats, blocks, blankets, and a bluetooth speaker so that they can learn how to breathe, meditate and be more mindful of the body, their emotions, and their thoughts.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students consist of children from a low socioeconomic background. They are lovely, motivated and respectful children that are enthusiastic about learning. Specifically, I teach social studies to students from grades K-5. Since I am the only social studies teacher in the school, I frequently do not get to teach every class in the school. Our school has a population of over 750 students.

Engaging my students through my pedagogy is my main goal.

However, I do realize that captivating my students must be done through various methods.

My Project

"Breathe for Change" yoga training was a blessing for me as a teacher that I want to pass on to my students. I want to teach my students breathing and meditation techniques. As well as various yoga poses that encourage self awareness.

There are certain supplies that I will need to teach my students and hopefully their parents as well.

I will need yoga bolsters, yoga mats, yoga blankets, yoga blocks, a speaker for yoga music, yoga chimes and a yoga tapestry to recreate a yoga studio in my school. The blankets and blocks are for students or parents that might not be very flexible and need these items as support in order to do yoga poses.
