Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our "Mindful Math: Supporting Students' Mental Health Through Classroom Wellness" initiative is designed to transform our math classroom into a space that prioritizes both academic and emotional well-being. By acquiring a printer, printer paper, string lights, and lamps, we aim to create an environment that supports students' mental health and fosters a positive learning experience.

The addition of string lights and lamps will introduce softer, less stimulating lighting, which can create a calming atmosphere that helps reduce stress and anxiety.

This gentle lighting can make the classroom feel more welcoming and less overwhelming, aiding in students' emotional comfort and focus. A printer and paper will enable us to print valuable mental health resources and educational materials, providing students with easy access to information and support tools that can help them manage their stress and enhance their overall wellness. Together, these enhancements will contribute to a more nurturing classroom environment where students can feel supported and engaged. Your generous contributions will play a crucial role in helping us build a classroom that not only excels academically but also cares for the mental health and well-being of every student.
