My Project

This will help students social emotional well being and promote wellness and mindfulness. Painting is therapeutic and also helpful to calm the mind. Bringing the joy of painting into my classroom allows students to take a break from social media and destress.

My goals for this project is help students express themselves through art while also learning to engage in positive ways to cope with stress and overstimulation.

These items will be used by my students to promote their social and emotional wellbeing in the classroom and after school. Students will be able to express themselves through art and artistic expression by doing hands on projects that also promote healthy mental health.
