My Project

This project includes books and cards to get my students moving! My students are learning to care for their physical and mental health. Exercising and keeping healthy will become lifelong habits if they start practicing now.

This project includes picture books and cards with simple directions for students to practice stretching and exercising independently or with a partner.

The children love learning about how their bodies work and how to be stronger.

This project also includes books that address teaching children who have experienced trauma. By understanding the impact of trauma, educators can create classrooms where students feel safe, supported, and valued, which is essential for effective learning and healthy development. I believe my classroom is a safe, supportive classroom but, there's always room for improvement.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
