My Project

My classroom serves a diverse student body, with 65 percent economically disadvantaged students and 72 percent minority students. The "Mindfulness Workbook for Teens," sensory fidget toys, stress-relief coloring books, and virtual reality headsets will provide essential support. These items will help students manage their stress and anxiety, leading to improved concentration and academic performance. My goals for this project are to enhance students' mental health, increase their engagement in class, and equip them with valuable life skills for managing stress. My students are special because, despite facing various socio-economic challenges, they are incredibly resilient, eager to learn, and deserving of a supportive and nurturing learning environment.

To support the mental health and well-being of my students, I am integrating stress and anxiety relief items into my classroom.

These tools aim to create a supportive environment where students can develop healthy coping mechanisms and manage their stress levels effectively, ultimately enhancing their focus and engagement in learning.

Implementing this project will not only enhance students' ability to focus and learn but also provide them with valuable life skills for managing stress and anxiety. The virtual reality headsets will offer immersive experiences that serve as both mental breaks and educational enrichment, further promoting overall well-being. This holistic approach to student wellness aims to create a more balanced and productive educational experience for all students.
