My Students

I teach 8th grade middle school students who are returning back to the school building after 1 1/2 of virtual learning. This year my students will go through a length process preparing for high school that can bring on even more bouts of stress as they embark on preparing to enter high school.

I want to help my students remain stress free while prepping for high school.

My Project

These materials will provide students will assistance for their mental health during this transitional period going back to in person learning. These stress balls will also serve as tools during the process of applying to high school which also bring about stress. Students will be able to have a "go to" tool in their times of need should stress be present during their trying times of need. These stress balls will serve as a means for students to be proactive with their mental health before the need to be reactive presents itself.
