Building Mindful Mathematicians for Chinese New Year
Funded Jan 2, 2025Thank you very much for your support in creating more mindfulness in our classroom. By donating to our community you have helped students have tools that promote social-emotional development. My students use the zen garden to decrease stress and math anxiety a way to self-regulate and reflect. They love playing with the zen garden as well as solving math problems. My students have benefited from positive affirmation pillows as a reminder of healthy communication and relationship-building with themselves and others. Thank you for being a generous donor to our community. Snake Lunar New Year has come with wisdom, transformation, and strategic growth for our classroom hopefully the same for you!”

Funded Dec 22, 2024My students were able to complete their state exams with the resources provided by wonderful donors like you. I used the snacks and water during Regents prep and the Regents, gave students protein bars and water so they were better prepared to successfully finish and do the best they could. The students were very happy to have the 4 Hugimals: Calming Hugs - Sloth & Koala. They wanted to take them home but it's better to have them in the classroom to share them with anyone who may need social-emotional support in the form of a hug. A hug from someone we trust is always a good idea to calm anxiety, promote self-confidence and self-esteem. Students know they are cared for thus they are better able to self-regulate themselves and focus on their academic work.
An affirmation hanger is a great reminder for anyone in need of positive affirmation to have positive thoughts thus creating a positive reality. Having positive affirmation in the classroom is important and helpful for student's mental and emotional development. Students were very happy to use the resources to decorate the classroom and take ownership of where the materials were to be displayed. My classroom is a safe environment where students know they can creatively express themselves with the proper guidance and boundaries established by their teachers. Thank you for your support in creating a classroom-conducive environment for students learning.”

Enhance Newcomer’s Success
Funded Sep 19, 2024Your contribution greatly improved student's motivation and adaptation to their new environment. Some students/ people struggle to adjust to new surroundings such as a new school and/or country. My goal through my project thanks to your support was able to accomplish my goal of making my classroom hospitable and welcoming for newcomers. Students feel like they belong and are safe.
Sharing food/ snacks contribute to decreasing the negative impact of hunger and student's inability to cope with new challenges in the classroom. Students are enthusiastic to get rewards for completing their assignments/ tasks. Moving forward I plan to continue making my classroom a safe and welcoming place for all my students newcomers especially. Thank you for your consideration and contribution to making our classroom a better place.”
