Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Namaste! This is a community project that will reach our whole school, grades Pre K - 5th. We will be utilizing the yoga straps and yoga blocks in order to differentiate the yoga practice so all students can be involved and feel successful. The diffuser and oils will be used to boost the student's health and mood. The storage bins will be used to store all of the materials in our yoga studio. There are so many benefits of yoga, and the fact that children ranging from ages 3 - 11 are getting these practices implemented in their everyday lives speaks volumes. Yoga takes place first period of the day in order for the students to begin their day at their baseline behavior and also, set the tone for the rest of their day. This practice will help students be calmer and focused in order to reach their highest potential in the classroom, while learning new material. Yoga is a very effective practice for all age groups and it is something the students can do in their everyday lives. We will be learning breathing exercises, stretches, poses, medication and more!

I will be guiding the students through this practice in order to bring awareness to our community.

I will be reading books (short quotes and missions) in order for the students to focus on their mission/purpose. The students will be learning breathing techniques, body awareness and mindfulness when facing real life challenges. Thank you for helping and supporting our project!
