Calming Our Minds with Colors

Help me give my students resources that can help alleviate anxiety and promote mindfulness.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rivera's classroom raised $327

This project is fully funded

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

I would like to have materials that my students can do during our morning time, or any free time. As we know, many students face various challenges that can affect their emotional well-being.

Mindful coloring has been shown to be an effective tool for reducing stress and enhancing focus.

With this in mind, I would like to request assistance in acquiring mindful coloring pages, as well as markers, and pencil cases for our students.

Additionally, a Teacher's Pay Teachers gift card would greatly help in obtaining quality resources that align with our goal of fostering a calm and supportive environment for our learners. Your support would make a significant difference in our students' lives, allowing them to express themselves creatively while promoting their mental health.
