Breathe Slow and Steady!

Help me give my students a way to relieve stress while in class. Students' mental health is just as important as their academic achievements. Fidget toys, stress relievers and snacks can help keep students focused.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This project is all about my students' mental health and making sure they are keeping themselves regulated. School can be stressful in this day and age and there are a lot of pressures put on students now. Students have to be on time, learn how to manage their studies while balancing their home life challenges. Some of my students work to help their families financially on top of all of that! This project is being made to help my students relieve some of their stress and calm their minds while in my class. Some of the listed items are snacks to keep their focus on the lesson instead of their hunger.

Please consider funding this project to help my students learn important academic skills while also helping their mental health stay strong!
