My Students

I teach in a preschool room in a low-income school district. My students are faced with challenges inside and outside of the classroom. Despite the many challenges that my students are facing, I strive to provide them with a fun, interactive, safe, and meaningful learning environment. As their teacher, I try to instill the importance of communicating/listening to one another, being a good citizen and leader, and using trauma-informed techniques to aid them in their social-emotional development.

My students have various learning styles' backgrounds and needs.

Due to being located in an inner-city, funding is extremely hard to come by, and in order to provide my students with the best learning experiences I can give them, I typically find ways to procure these items and experiences out of pocket or by any means I can, which is where DonorsChoose comes in.

My Project

Preschoolers have a lot of movement in them throughout the day, and one way our class likes to channel our wiggles is incorporating yoga and movement into our daily routine and our lesson units!

This project is for books that are yoga and movement specific, for story time, to incorporate gross motor and hands-on learning in our classroom learning units.

By incorporating yoga, not only does this provide students a positive outlet for all of their wiggles throughout the day, but it allows students a hands-on learning approach to our bi-weekly lesson units to help reinforce learning concepts and goals. While learning yoga through stories, students are also learning mindfulness, self-regulation, bodily awareness, body positivity, and social skills of focusing and following directions with purpose.
