Emergency Drawer Necessities!

Help me give my students all the random things they need in their various states of emergency--from personal hygiene to fixing attire, from zits to blisters, these are all items my students have asked me for.

My Project

According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, students cannot reach the goal of Self-Actualization if any other needs are unmet, including physiological needs, safety and security, love and belonging, and self-esteem. I want to help my students reach Self-Actualization--or at least some academic content--while at school, so I try to have an environment where students feel safe, loved, and included in my classroom. Having the class norm be what's mine is yours has made it easier for students to feel comfortable asking me for supplies or resources they may need. In my 15 years of teaching, I have had a lot of random requests to help students in their various emergencies.

I have decided to make an Emergency Drawer this year, and I need your help to fill it with the things I've been asked for most.

My emergency drawer will include tampons, pads, self-care, and first aid necessities (which my school doesn't provide in each classroom). But students also need bursts of protein, hand warmers, chapstick, and things to alter their clothing like a sewing kit, safety pins, and fabric tape. If they are focused on things that need fixing, then they are not learning the content in my classroom.

I want my students to feel loved, cared for, and like they belong. Knowing they can come to my Emergency Drawer to help them handle whatever their emergency is will help them get refocused on education as soon as possible!
