Finding Peace Through Social Emotional Learning
Funded Nov 28, 2023I have started my asynchronous work for the Breathe For Change and I already feel a difference in my teaching ability of overall wellness. Although I won't complete the program to fully give you an explanation on the program; I can share with you some of the elements I will be learning.
Transformation of Self which I have already taken is teaching me how it all starts from within. I learned through meditation to breathe for beginnings, creativity and gratitude.
I have also learned the principles of yoga and cannot wait to further explore them through the workshop.
The next session I will be working on shortly is learning the Asana Module of Yoga. Then there will be a session on Social Emotional Learning, and modules on Meditation. I look forward to sharing with you more when I complete the workshop this summer.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 3 other donors.Catch Em Being Good...Kerplunk!
Funded Jul 5, 2018Thank you so much for your generous donations. Your donations has brought plenty of smiles to the students in my class. The new resources have been used throughout the day (the smelly chapsticks) whenever "smelly spots" are being given out and the games are a hit every Friday afternoon during our "centers" time. The first time the students saw the bin full of smelly chapsticks they were very curious. The first smelly spot given out, it was love at first sniff. The first smelly spot was given to a student for being a great helper and it just took off from there. All the kids are obsessed with the smells and has pushed them to participate and work harder. The games they get to play during centers time they love and are learning how to play with one another, learn new games, take turns, and most of all have fun. Once again thank you, thank you, thank you. :)”
