My Project

Students feel checked out, stressed, and depleted throughout their school day, even at the beginning of the year. The items that are chosen are to provide students with a way to deal with social and emotional skills and give them opportunities to be able to have tools to create a positive learning experience. For example, board games help relax the mind and have fun. Next, the different plush toys and fidgets allow them to be them to positive behavior as a prize. The deck of cards allows them to use their minds while not feeling stressed by playing card games while also incorporating math within those games.

I hope my kids can overcome the school year blues by being provided resources that promote a positive space of learning and community.

Too many things affect their energy, so I hope these items help boost their morale and get them excited to come to class and focus despite everything they have been through.
