Help support Mrs. Fishback's Classroom

Pressure and stress are a part of our everyday lives. As adults, we learn over the years how to handle our stress. Have you ever looked back on your life and thought about how you learned to handle your stress? How do students learn to handle stress? Unless they are taught, they learn through the actions of those that are around them. Many teachers usually have their students come in the morning and work on an educational assignment that is often challenging. It is so easy to lose sight of remembering where our students are coming. Many students walk into the classroom having come from a hectic morning that didn't start in a clam way. They may be upset about being yelled at by mom, the bus driver, and older brother. Now they have to get busy finishing this challenging assignment. If they watch how these adults have handled their pressure and stress by yelling, chances are, the student will be yelling at their teacher too. I'm striving to teach my students how to handle stress in their lives. One way to help them learn how to handle this stress is by giving them an opportunity to have a soft start to the morning. I want to give them a smooth transition from home/bus to the classroom. Research shows that it provides an opportunity to balance their mental and emotional states and can increase attendance. This will be done by providing engaging activities students choose to do when they come into the classroom. These activities give opportunities to practice mindfulness and healthy habits of stress management that will last them a lifetime.
