Dear Donors,
In our 4th-grade classroom, we believe every student deserves to feel safe, understood, and equipped to navigate life's challenges.
Many of our students have experienced traumas that are truly unimaginable, impacting their ability to learn, connect, and thrive. That's why we're reaching out for your support to bring essential Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) tools into our classroom.
These tools are not just "nice to haves"—they are crucial for fostering our students' mental development and building their resilience. We aim to create a trauma-informed classroom where every child can feel secure and supported. Your donation will help us provide with SEL books sets, Figet toys, plush toys to help regulate emotions, books about dealing with Trauma and establisihng procedures for coping with stress.
By providing these vital SEL resources, you'll be giving our students the emotional toolkit they need to cope with their past experiences, manage big feelings, and build a stronger foundation for their future. You'll be helping them develop the confidence to learn, grow, and heal.
Thank you for helping us create a classroom where every 4th grader feels seen, supported, and ready to reach their full potential.
