My students are amazing. They come from backgrounds with a lot of challenges and trauma, but they are so resilient. Providing them with a wonderful space that feels safe and comfortable helps them get ready to focus on learning and practicing skills to manage their emotional and mental health.
The ball chairs are great at allowing the students movement while they work on skills.
The carpet will allow the students flexible seating where they can lounge on the floor with a bean bag or do breathing exercises while lying down. My students LOVE lights and the lights will help practice their mindfulness and coping skills without the overhead fluorescent lights. The fidget toys are wonderful at helping the students do something with their hands while they discuss difficult and stressful events, which helps them work on their coping skills as well. These materials will help them learn coping skills and ways to support their mental health as they go through challenging times.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
