Mindful Math: Supporting Students' Mental Health Through Classroom Wellness
Funded Aug 12, 2024Thanks to your generous support, our "Mindful Math: Supporting Students' Mental Health Through Classroom Wellness" initiative has truly transformed our learning environment! The addition of calming lighting has created a more serene and inviting atmosphere that makes students feel comfortable, helping reduce the stress and anxiety that sometimes accompany math classes. The softer, ambient lighting, provided by string lights and lamps, has made a noticeable difference in creating a calm and focused space that many students have commented on as a relief from the harsh overhead lights.
Our new printer has been a game-changer as well. It's enabled us to print valuable resources on demand, including worksheets, study guides, and mental health information sheets, so students have easy access to supportive tools in the classroom. They now feel more prepared and have immediate access to materials that help them manage stress during the school day.
The excitement among students has been remarkable! They often mention how much they appreciate the changes, with several even saying it feels like "home" now. In particular, a few students who initially found math overwhelming have especially warmed to the new setup. They've told me that the calming atmosphere helps them concentrate better and feel less anxious during tests. One student mentioned that being able to pick up resources directly from the classroom printer has made them feel more supported and independent in their learning.
We are so grateful for the positive impact your contributions have had on our classroom. Not only are students thriving academically, but they are also learning in an environment that prioritizes their mental well-being. Thank you for making this possible!”
