My Students

Our school is near the bottom of Mount Mansfield in Underhill, Vermont. We are so lucky to have the opportunity to access multiple spaces for Outdoor Learning as surrounded by nature with a field and woods adjacent to our school grounds!

Although the method and environment in which they learn best vary, each child in my classroom is engaged in growing their brains and building relationships!

We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and we are thankful to have a students that come to school curious and ready to learn!

My Project

These beautiful Mindful Mats will provide my students with clear boundaries for their bodies during our Morning Meetings and group movement times. The mandala pattern on these carpet mats can also provide a soothing sensory input with the texture and colorful, repeating pattern.

The calming design of these mats and clearly designated self-space will help each student feel grounded and respected.

Having these individual mats will allow my students to focus on their academic lessons, exercise their bodies, and grow their brains during our social-emotional learning times.

We appreciate your generosity!
