My Project

Good Day to All!

My mission for my upper elementary students is to become more socially responsive to their environment.

My goals for this project are to help my students become more competent in their social emotional skills, self identify moments when they need a reset and to help them build a lifetime of coping mechanisms in times of trouble, anxiety and feelings of being unproductive. In doing so, the classroom is the foundation of learning how to practice mindful moments and relaxing exercises to help them reset and recharge to have more focus and motivation towards a task at hand. With your donation, we aim to purchase calming sound systems, and mindfulness resources to integrate into our daily routine, giving students a peaceful space to center their minds and sharpen their focus
