Funded Dec 19, 2021Brain and body breaks have been a huge part of our social and emotional lessons this year. We've spent more time out of our desks thanks to your kindness and generosity. The yoga mats allowed me to make donations to individual students that struggled to stay in their desk so they could access the curriculum in the most effective way possible.
Also, this made is more mobile. We could easily take the mats to the playground, or two buddies could read right outside the classroom door. Flexibility is a major key to success in special education.
Lastly, while it feels like we're in the "end-demic", we still need to keep it clean. I have been able to clean my mats regularly which I can't do to a rug. Also, I have labeled them with students names to cut down on sharing. This makes it a little safe.
Thank you for giving me these options,”
With gratitude,
Ms. Burns
