My Students

I teach at a public elementary school on the island of Maui in Hawaii. My school is a Title I school with a largely socioeconomically​ disadvantaged student population. 65% of our students participate in the free and reduced lunch program. We have a population of over 700 highly diverse students with a wide variety of backgrounds, ethnicity, abilities, and individual needs. Students speak multiple languages and 30% of our students are English Language Learners. Students benefiting from my project will range from Kindergarten through 5th graders.

My Project

Help bring a mindfulness room to our school! Students will come to the mindfulness room to participate in social emotional learning, movement, relaxation, and self regulation practices. Many students at our school have a stressful home life, and coming to school is where they can escape hardship and experience safety and love. The mindfulness room will be a space where students can come to feel safe, de-stress, and connect with their classmates, teachers, and most importantly themselves.

My goal is to help students gain a deeper awareness of themselves by exploring and understanding their emotions and learning various tools to self regulate.

They will learn important tools to handle stress that they can carry with them throughout their life. The mindfulness program will help provide students with a greater understanding of how to relate to express their emotions, as well as treating themselves and others with kindness and compassion. Mindfulness supports all areas of children’s development; it improves social, physical, emotional, and creative capabilities. The mindfulness program will encourage learning through observation, self expression, inspiration, sensory perceptions, and a willingness to construct new connection.
