Enhance Student Mental Health: Walking Pad, Bean Bags, Games

Funded Dec 6, 2024

Thanks to your generous contributions, our classroom has been transformed into a space where students feel comfortable and supported. The bean bags and games have provided much-needed opportunities for relaxation and stress relief, particularly as we work to prioritize mental health and well-being. One of the most memorable moments came when students first saw the bean bags. Their faces lit up with excitement and relief, knowing they now had a cozy space to take a break, regroup, or work in a calm environment. The games have also fostered social connection and teamwork, allowing students to engage in cooperative play and practice essential problem-solving skills.

These new resources have allowed us to integrate more social-emotional learning into our classroom. Whether it's using the bean bags for mindfulness exercises or playing a game to break up the school day, the students are learning how to manage stress and interact with their peers in a positive, supportive way. Moving forward, I plan to incorporate more structured mental health activities into our lessons, such as group reflection time or stress-reduction exercises during our game breaks. Thanks to your support, my students now have the tools they need to thrive in both their academic and emotional growth.”
