Empowering Minds: Creating a Supportive Classroom Environment

Help me give my students a clean and organized space that fosters participation, reduces anxiety, supports learning, and promotes overall well-being. I'm acquiring supplies like whiteboards, headphones, and cleaning materials to enhance my students' mental health.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. J. Lanaro's classroom raised $496

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 love my students’ resilience and creativity. Each resource I’m requesting will significantly enhance their learning experience.

Whiteboards will encourage active engagement and collaboration, helping students express their ideas without the pressure of traditional assessments.

Headphones with microphones will enable personalized learning, allowing students to focus and participate at their own pace. Organized paper trays will reduce clutter, creating a calming environment that helps students concentrate. The storage cabinet ensures easy access to cleaning supplies, fostering a sense of safety and hygiene, while disinfectant wipes and microfiber cloths will maintain a clean space, minimizing distractions.

My goal for this project is to create a supportive and organized classroom that promotes mental wellness and active participation. My students are unique in their diverse backgrounds and learning styles, and I aim to provide them with the tools they need to thrive academically and emotionally. Together, these resources will empower them to reach their full potential.
