Yoga Stories to Make Us Move

Help me give my students stories to move to inside of our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Johnson's classroom raised $286

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

In Pre-K it is important to get up and move around! This is especially important now as there will be days that we will not be able to go outside due to the pandemic or weather. Having stories that incorporate yoga and movement help us learn how to be mindful, body awareness, emotional regulation, and identifying emotions and parts of the body. Movement in the classroom also helps students increase their balance, strength, and self-control.

These yoga stories will help our students move around in the classroom when we are unable to go outside!
