This project aims to help students feel at home in their classroom. This is the first part of mindful practices which will take part throughout the school year. Classrooms should be comfortable, because learning takes place in those spaces. Alternative seating (bean bags and other chairs) is one of the biggest ways I will make students feel welcome. In addition I plan on leading mindfulness exercises, help students identify their emotions, and calm down by using a variety of sensory materials. This project asks for materials that engage the sense of smell, sound, and touch (diffuser, rain stick, speaker, and kinetic sand). Help me meet my goal!
