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

In today’s tech-driven world, students face constant distractions that can hinder their ability to stay organized and focused in the classroom. This project, “Mindful Minds & Organized Lives,” aims to help students develop essential organizational skills and a mindful approach to their daily tasks. By providing simple yet effective tools like sticky notes for daily to-do lists and pencil pouches to house their devices.

We are creating an environment that promotes focus and intentionality.

Sticky notes will allow students to map out their daily tasks, encouraging them to prioritize and manage their time effectively. This practice will help them set clear goals and experience the satisfaction of completing tasks one by one, building confidence and responsibility. The pencil pouches will serve as a dedicated space for students to store their devices during class, promoting a “disconnect to reconnect” philosophy. By putting away their phones and tablets, students can engage more fully with the lesson and develop a habit of minimizing digital distractions.

With your support, this project can help our students build valuable skills that go beyond the classroom, fostering a sense of calm, organization, and self-discipline. By contributing, you’re helping to empower students with tools to manage their time, focus on their learning, and build healthy habits that will serve them well in the future. Thank you for considering a donation to help our students grow!
