It's tough being a kid nowdays. There's homework, tests, and current events; it can feel as if their world is a mess. Sometimes, they may feel their surroundings are too much to handle and anxiety among students grows higher every year.
Having books and sensory resources will give my students lifelong tools to cope with some of society's negativities.
In this project, I am requesting holiday books to help my students become aware of this importance of holidays throughout the year. I am also requesting sensory materials, such as pop its, stickers, and puzzles to give them calming activities. Hopefully, by giving students these alternatives, they will leave my classroom with tools to combat anxiety.
More than half of students from low‑income households
