My Project

The materials that I am requesting will be used to create a classroom environment that relaxes the students' stressed minds, regulates their emotions, and improves their concentration. Students will be helped to redirect their focus, attention, calming, and active listening. They are also provided with snacks because they seek comfort from food.

With your help, I would like to give my students tools and resources that will help them cope with stress and anxiety when tackling a busy day, or they just need a distraction by taking a break, engaging in mindful activities, and building their self-management skills.
