Positivity Rocks & Testing Buddies!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barrett's classroom raised $345

My Project

Our students are always on the go with learning multiple subjects and being involved with sports, clubs, work, and other responsibilities. Sometimes they need a moment or two to take a break or need something to help keep them focused. This project includes materials to paint rocks and a variety of subject related small animal and cell figurines.

The rocks will provide an opportunity for students to come paint a rock that promotes kindness and positivity that they can keep for themselves or pass it along to another student who might need a positive reminder!

In lieu of fidgit spinners, subject related figurines will be available for students who want a testing buddy to provide calm, focus, and confidence during tests.
