My Project

A lot of students come to school with a range of emotions and stressors. Thus, it is crucial for us as their mentors to provide them variety of tools that can help them manage their stress and stay organized. My project's goal is to enhance my students' well-being and academic success by providing them some anti-stress toys and classroom organizers. I am requesting a Mobile Organizer, Galaxy Putty Slime, Artist Select Storage Boxes with Lids, Bluetooth Computer Speakers and more! The Wireless Membrane Keyboard, Wireless Presenter Remote and laptop riser will be perfect for presentations.

I am handling 7th grade Science in my school.

My students are groups of diverse cultures and traditions. They have different stories and experiences to tell. Science, on the other hand, requires a lot of determination, focus, and organization. That is why I came up with this project. My objectives include the following: (1) Creating a more calming and stress-free environment for my students through the help of anti-stress toys. (2) Promoting organization and efficiency in the classroom through the utilization of classroom organizers. (3) Empowering my students with the resources they need to manage stress and stay organized, leading to a more improved focus and academic performance. These not only help my students in the classroom per se, but also will benefit them beyond.

By supporting my project, you may be able to contribute to the creation of a more organized and supportive learning space for students. Your generosity will truly impact their well-being and academic success. Thus, allowing them to thrive both emotionally and academically.

Thank you for considering my proposal!
