My Students

I have 20 fabulous first graders in my class from diverse backgrounds with diverse learning needs. My students are eager to learn on Distance Learning and are working hard everyday to Zoom during class time and complete all assignments through our online apps.

Many of my students face hardships beyond their age, and need help to find appropriate coping strategies.

There has never been a greater need for educators to be the lighthouse of mindfulness, empowerment, and social-emotional well being.

My Project

I am excited to participate in a mind and body wellness and social emotional learning professional development designed specifically for educators! Stressors from Distance Learning have made it difficult for my students and other young people to cope with their emotions. I hope to be a positive lighthouse for my students, future students, and community by setting an example of what it means to be a mindful individual.

In this community-focused training, I will study mind-body wellness practices including yoga and mindful movement, breath work, social-emotional learning strategies, and community building tactics.

I will apply my new knowledge and skill set immediately upon completion, by setting into place SEL and mindfulness practices into my classroom routines.
