This project will provide my students with the tools to reset both their mind and body through a structured concept focused on movement, work, and breathing, all while remaining in the classroom. Materials will be assigned to a designated area within multiple classrooms and children will be able to utilize this area to reset their bodies so they are ready to return to learning instruction. Having materials available in the classrooms provide supports for students to independently relieve tension and feelings anxiety in a positive way. Stretching out their bodies with yoga poses and have items such as squishies to assist in focusing on mindful breathing provides an essential step necessary for many of my students to return back to a productive learning mindset. Being able to provide these supports within our mainstream classrooms allows multiple kids to benefit from these strategies while remaining engaged in a learning setting.
