Help me give my students quality materials that will help them practice mindfulness and a comforting environment.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. M's classroom raised $242
This project is fully funded
My Project
The bulk of this project is dedicated to rest mats. As a kindergarten teacher, it is important to have quality rest mats. Rest time is only 15 minutes, but it is a way to regulate and calm children and reminds them that mindfulness helps us all learn and communicate better. Other than the rest mats, I am asking for help purchasing snacks for the classroom and tools to help regulate emotions.
I want to give all my students quality downtime.
Some of my students are unhoused, and these rest mats are sometimes the most comfortable part of their day.
More than half of students from low‑income households
