Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Children need healthy ways to relieve stress and anxiety. My new kindergarten students have already been through so much at such a young age. They are only 5 and 6 years old and need healthy ways to relieve stress and anxiety. I am asking for alphabet and number fidget pop-its to help them when they need to calm down.

These pop-its can give my students' hands something to do while they are listening to help them focus and relieve stress.

Please help me give my students these stress-relief items! Thank you!
