Goal

Students will learn strategies and exercises in a large group setting to learn to calm themselves on their own when they are upset. Please note, we will not be called yoga- for the purpose of inclusion, it will be called My Own Mindful Choices. 

 

What will be done with my students

My team and I are receiving a group of students this year that were "notorious" for behavior codes last year. There were many factors that contributed to this including consistent staffing issues. Our school has already adopted an SEL curriculum that we use. These materials will benefit the second grade teachers and their students as an added layer to our established program. The goal is to teach students breathing exercises and calming techniques that they would be able to use themselves to become calm. The goal is to teach THEM to self-regulate. 

 

Benefits to my students

The expected outcome is less behavior codes in second grade and students who are better equipped to regulate their emotions before escalating and involving school personnel. 

 

Budget Narrative

I found these resources on Amazon with the exception of the yoga mats. I believe they can be purchased at 5 Below. There are currently three second grade classes and we are all on the same floor of the building. We would share materials and plan activities with these materials a couple times a week so as to build the student's individual emotional tool box.
