Minds Clear for Learning

Help me give my students storage containers, magnetic wands, and other tools they need to regulate their emotions while focusing on their learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barker's classroom raised $786

My Project

My students are energetic learners who occasionally have overwhelming emotions that causes them to lose focus on learning. They are eager to learn, but circumstances outside of their control can sometimes prevent that.

With the mirrors, bubbles, and stress toys, students will have access to items that help them regulate overwhelming emotions so they can focus on learning.

The folders help create strong lines of communications between school and home. And the chargers and charging station will allow my students to stay charged and ready to learn at home and at school. The magnetic wands and chips will be used for phonetic awareness activities to increase their reading comprehension levels.
