My Project

These materials will enhance the classroom environment that I strive to create for my students. My classroom is a place that my students really enjoy. I try to create an environment that makes them feel safe, relaxed, and ready to learn! I

The donations to this project will help enhance my classroom environment to easy my students' anxiety.

I teach Oral Communications, which has a heavy focus on growth mindset, communications skills, developing empathy, and building relationships. A huge portion of that class involves public speaking, and with that also comes public speaking anxiety. To combat the anxiety my students feel, it is important to me to create an environment that makes them feel safe. The products I have selected will help students cope with anxious feelings, especially with public speaking.
