Classroom "Essentials"

The Description

With these funds I will...

be able to begin to diffuse essential oils in my Kindergarten classroom. Essential oils have so many great benefits and I believe they will directly impact the learning experience of my students. Different essential oils can be used to energize students in the afternoon, awaken students in the morning, as well as create a calm and peaceful environment for social interaction. Particular essential oil blends can also clean the air, which can be overloaded with germs in a room filled with five year olds!

I believe the environment plays a huge impact on student learning. As a Kindergarten teacher I want to ensure that as my students are having their first public school experience I also want it to be the best experience possible. Kindergarten can be a hard time for students as they transition in to the world of education. Students are filled with worries and anxiety as they begin their first days of school. Diffusing essential oils can aide students in releasing their feelings of anxiousness. 

My hope is to raise enough funds to purchase a Premium Starter Kit from YoungLiving. In addition to a diffuser the Premium Starter Kit also comes with YoungLiving's "Everyday Oils Essential Collection". This collection currently comprises of the following oils: Frankincense, Lemon, Lavender, Melaleuca Alternifolia, Peppermint, as well as their own blends of Joy, Purification, PanAway, Thieves, and Stress Away. In addition, I would to purchase the YoungLiving blend of Peace and Calming.

The Premium Starter Kit is $150

Peace and Calming is $43

I am asking for $250 to ensure that I have enough to pay for tax and shipping to Hawaii (which can be expensive!)

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase the items from the starter kit that I believe to be most critical.

First and for most I will need to purchase a diffuser, and then choose the oils based on how much funding is left. My greatest desire is to be able to purchase the peace and calming blend, and next I would like to be able to purchase the purification blend, as I believe those two oils will get my the biggest "bank for my buck".

September 14, 2015

With the funds that I received I was able to purchase a Petal Diffuser as well as three different kinds of oils: lavender, lemon, and "OnGuard" by Doterra. These oils will help to promote a relaxing and calming environment in the classroom as well as help promote healthy air quality. Thank you so much for your donations so that these items could be purchased for my classroom!
