My Project

All students deserve a classroom that invites them to sit down with their peers in a comfortable learning area. Our school is aging and it can be difficult to make the classroom attractive and comfortable. The students and their families are hard-working and go out of their way to make newcomers feel welcome.

With this new rug and fun materials, my class will be invited to participate in discussions; collaborating with each other and engaging in our classroom wellness circles.

From Day 1, we begin meeting at the rug to learn techniques to down regulate our nervous system, reflect on our relationships, and honor our selves.
