Our SEL program lays the foundation for that. However, I thought yoga might be a helpful daily routine to get students in the right mindset.\r\n\r\nI have coupled our yoga mats and socks with a children's yoga program called Cosmic Kids Yoga. The program is engaging and simple enough for students to follow. The program also uses story telling with yoga to enhance the minds journey.\r\n\r\nYoga is outside of the norm for most of our students that it is not just a fun way to stimulate their senses but also a challenging one.

This has allowed my students to dive deeper in their learning and discussions.\r\n\r\nThe resin animals and containers have brought determination for my third graders to master multiplication facts in hopes of unlocking a new animal. The students were so thrilled to participate in this multiplication goal and they keep talking about the animals they want next. \r\n\r\nWith your donation we were able to carry out the above and so much more!

The snacks made students eager to show up to testing and share a snack with their friends.
