Calm Bodies and Bellies in the New Year

My Project

My students are amazing and enthusiastic learners; they love coming to school to grow their minds! Unfortunately, some of the children in my classroom come to school hungry. I teach at a title one school where over 50% of the students qualify for free and reduced lunch. It is challenging for little minds to focus on learning when their tummies are rumbling.

This project will supply students with healthy, low sugar snacks as well as some cold freezer pops for hot weather days.

There is also a sensory chair for a child that has a constant need to move. Currently this child climbs, rocks and jumps off their chair. I believe this new chair will provide all the sensory input that they are seeking while keeping them safe and learning. There is also a SEL book about using kind words to keep us emotionally safe and cared for in the classroom.

Lastly there are paper fans that the students can decorate for hot weather days. The wonderful open air campus we have means that we are exposed to the outside elements. When it is hot outside, it can get sweltering inside. These fans will be a fun way for them to beat the heat in class (along with the frozen Otter Pops!).

Thank you for considering my classroom!
