My Students

Hi! I love the innocence and honesty of my students. They love to learn. They joke around all the time and they are very inquisitive.

They love trying new things and they love using sensory materials when learning at school.

My Project

Mental health among students has suffered over the last year and a half. They need to relax in an academic environment and an oil diffuser/humidifier will help them focus and relax while

Essential oils have been known to calm, relax, boost moods, kill germs, remove odors, uplift an atmosphere and increase concentration.

Oils have been shown to ease the anxieties and fears of students during testing.

Students can learn to use their senses to relax in a different way. The use of smells during learning can help students remain calm while learning and when taking test.
