Help me give my students a space to feel safe, mentally recharge, and journal.

Celebrating 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
My students are wonderful and hardworking. With the demands of school, after-school activities, and the pressures of being a preteen, students may need a moment to breathe, relax, and meditate. Students need a space away from other students in the classroom where they can experience a warm and inviting environment to gather thoughts and build self-management skills by engaging in mindful activities. Options for student seating will give students the freedom to work on assignments independently.
A calming area will help support self-regulation while keeping students in the classroom if they need a break from instruction time or group activity.
The beanbag, floor cushions, and other supplies I am requesting will help support students' mental and emotional health and hopefully be able to build self-management skills and self-confidence.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
