My Project

The specific items requested will make a difference in students' learning by providing essential tools for emotional well-being and focus. Pens/markers for journaling help them process emotions and improve writing skills, stuffed toys and calming pillows offer comfort, reducing anxiety, snacks maintain energy and concentration, and the board games enhance social skills and cognitive development.

The goals for this project are to create a supportive learning environment, reduce stress, and improve academic performance by addressing students' mental, emotional and physical needs.

Our students are special because they are resilient, diverse, and eager to learn despite the challenges they face. We are wall to wall Title 1 school and all students are on a free or reduced meal program. My students' unique backgrounds and experiences enrich our school community.
