This experience has deeply enriched my ability to bring mindfulness practices to my third-grade students at Sankofa Montessori. Through this training, I've learned somatic movement techniques and breathing-based meditative practices that are especially effective for students navigating dysregulation that arises from trauma and neurodivergence. These tools have not only supported their emotional regulation and focus but also created a more grounded and compassionate classroom environment where every child feels seen and supported.\r\n\r\nI am deeply humbled by the generous monetary donations that made this journey possible. Your contributions did far more than fund professional development—they empowered me to show up for my students in more intentional and healing ways. The ripple effect of your generosity is already being felt in my classroom, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to integrate mindfulness into our daily lives. Thank you for believing in this work and in the potential of every student I have the honor to teach.\r\n\r\nAs I move forward to Movement School South Fulton, I look forward to bringing what I have learned through my BreatheForChange training into the kindergarten classroom.
