Positive Minds and Mental Health

Help me give my students a safe, positive, and comfortable learning enviroment to thrive in

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pate's classroom raised $209

This project is fully funded

My Students

My school is a Title 1 school and my students all come from very different socioeconomic backgrounds and cultures. My students are strong, independent individuals who have worked hard and been through so much to get through where they are today. They are brilliant, hardworking, and always come into the classroom with a big smile on their face. They are my family and I am a part of their family. The majority of my students' families are trying to make ends meet to afford classroom supplies.

My Project

These items will provide students with the opportunity to grow in not only their education but their mental health. These items will support social and emotional learning by teaching unique strategies to cope with different emotions through the use of these items. If a student is feeling overwhelmed, they can go to a stress relief station to cool down and get out some of their anxiety. Students will be able to choose from a variety of stress relieving objects to help them clear their mind and will be able to refocus back on the lesson or task at hand.
