My Project
I am requesting these items because I believe they will motivate my students to read, relax, and decompress when needed. I have created a Classroom Library where students want to read and relax. When students are feeling anxious or upset, I would like to offer them a place to decompress and release stress instead of having to leave the classroom. Sometimes a visit to the Disciplinarian's Office is necessary; however, my goal is to minimize these moments so that students don't miss out on instruction.
Students come to school sometimes feeling stress from home, peer pressure, or inability to comprehend instruction; Having access to tactile materials (stuffed animals, pillows) can lessen or elimate these stressors.
I would like to provide an environment that helps students take a break, regroup, and return to the learning environment. I believe the items I have chosen will be an asset to students and their social/emotional needs.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
