I was glad they offered for me to teach at their school! I’m sure the teachers were a bit surprised how quickly I had them organized and provided an immediate lesson. The teacher told me the first 5 girls went back excitedly and showed her what I taught. One of the father’s that was chaperoning the outing sat down and talked with me about what I was doing told me the teachers were wondering if I would be willing to do a presentation at their school. He had his daughter get the school officials and I again explained my work with children and the study I was involved with at the University of Northern Iowa (UNI). She directly asked if I would do a lecture at their school. I said I would gladly do it…however, having an ongoing class would be more beneficial as it is accumulates…and.then that was a done deal…took my personal.

information. After some discussion I come to find out She is close friends with a colleague of mine at my office who does trauma sensitive yoga, whom happened to be part of the study with UNI…that sealed our arrangement. I find it humorous because last week Master Zhonghua Chen told me I need to pick up about 20 more students…next school year I will add an entire 7th and 8th grade. I am sure they want to add resources that focuses on mindfulness and sensory awareness to deal with the stressors we have faced this pandemic…regardless…I see it as adding more students…
