My Project

I'm need help getting the supplies we need for social and emotional needs. This year, along with learning some awesome things, we're also going to get more into social and emotional learning for our little ones.

With this project, we're asking for resources to help our students deal with their feelings.

The stress balls are for comfort, support, and relief. The chewing necklace is for those who get a little anxious and have oral fidgeting. Then, the timer is for breaks to take a moment for emotions instead of letting them get in the way of our day. These resources can also help with behavioral issues or for those who need a little extra support to focus in class.

We're trying to spread some good vibes here. I love giving shout-outs to kids who do good things and reach their goals. I even give out prizes, which gets them all excited and proud of themselves. And for those who forgot their snack or didn't get a chance to eat, I've got their backs with some tasty treats. They get all happy and grateful, and it takes the edge off of being hungry. Plus, they feel like we care about them.

Our kids are super caring and sweet, but they're still young, and some of them are new to school or come from refugee or immigrant families. They're still learning how to express their feelings and how to comfort each other. It's important for their future, especially in this day and age. With your support and donation, you can make a huge difference in their lives and teach them some really valuable lessons. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. We appreciate it!
