Last year was my first year and when creating the classroom schedule I wanted to add in a special time before nap time to practice yoga and help calm my students down. I teach in a high poverty area and the kids have so much stress in their home lives. I remember my instructional coach telling me that she didn’t think I would be allowed to do that. Being a first year teacher there I didn’t question her. Now, after reading your post and having a better footing in my position I plan to revisit this discussion and work to get this practice in my classroom. I didn’t even think about it being a chance for math or other learning as well! Thank you!
