Healthy Minds, Happy Treats: Rewards for Social-Emotional Growth

Help me give my students resources such as snacks, toys and puzzle games, that support their social, emotional, and mental well-being as well as help to address the impacts of interrupted learning due to COVID-19.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Soriano's classroom raised $809

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help provide my students with lots of healthy snacks, positive affirmation stickers, stress-relief resources, and hands-on materials to support their social and emotional well-being as well as boost their learning. These resources help to provide essential components to a well-rounded education. When students are well-fed and energized with healthy snacks, they are better equipped to focus and learn. Positive affirmations can help students develop a growth mindset and build resilience in the face of challenges. Toys and other hands-on materials provide opportunities for creative play and exploration, which are important for developing social skills, problem-solving abilities, and emotional regulation. By integrating these resources into my classroom, I will be able to create a more positive and supportive learning environment that nurtures my students' social-emotional development and academic success.
