My Project

My students are in school for 12 months a year, in the same classroom. They are in school for all 4 seasons with either the heat or air conditioning blasting. A humidifier will help by keeping the air filled with moisture and preventing nose bleeds all year long.

The Nose Knows!

The essential oils will help keep my students (and the staff) calm, focused and grounded. The subtle aroma works in the background offering my students another way to self regulate and perform at their best. As added benefits it will not only help with seasonal colds, and other germs, by cleansing the air but we can use lemon oil to help clean our classroom surfaces without chemicals. My students can be active participants in the process since we will be using all natural ingredients and no chemicals.
