Help me give my students activities, tools, and a space to destress, recompose, and refocus during stress-inducing events like tests, group tasks, and emotional distress.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carrera's classroom raised $538

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
I want to provide a space for my students to recompose during a stressful event in class. During a test, students shut down or need a break, and this space is for that. I want to develop a space in the classroom with furniture, posters, plants, books, and stress relieving objects to be used when students are experiencing test anxiety, overload of information, over stimulation, peer relationship stress, and or need a 5 minute break to recompose and take on the day. I have attempted a similar space last year and through qualitative data found the resource (this space) to have a positive impact. In this space, they will find coloring pages, tactile objects, books to read, and fidgets.
Nearly all 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
