My Project

Students are best able to excel when their basic need for mental health is met. My project will allow a calm and focused environment for students so that they can focus on their work. Students need snacks, physical movement and an opportunity to connect with one another through games. By meeting my students mental and physical health needs I am setting them up for success now and in the future! Whatever they need they will have, from snacks to a physical movement outlet they will be covered in my classroom.
