Feeling Good

Help me give my students the opportunity to take brain breaks. I have several students who need short breaks throughout the day.

My Project

Through the donations of Donors Choose, my students will have the opportunity to feel good about coming to school. I have several students who are overwhelmed, and have a hard time attending school on a regular basis. By allowing them to take short brain breaks throughout the day, I think it will help alleviate some of the anxiety and stress they may feel. I will also be giving incentives weekly by using the punch cards. This way, the students feel they are earning something. Thank you for your generosity and consideration.
