Help me give my students calming breathing buddies, inclusive activities, tools, and decor to create a safe, welcoming classroom where every child feels seen, supported, and ready to learn.
In our classroom, every child deserves to feel safe, included, and valued. With your support, I’m working to create a magical space where all students—regardless of background or need—can learn, grow, and feel at home.
This project will help me bring in inclusive activities, sensory tools, and calming decor, including a pair of breathing koala pals that support emotional regulation.
These items will create a welcoming environment that honors all learners and helps them manage big feelings so they can focus, connect, and thrive.
Together, we can help every child dream big and breathe easy.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
