My Students

The students in our school come from a small rural background. Despite the hardships many of them face at home they come to school with a willing attitude and a positive outlook. Sometimes students that are from a low socioeconomic status are overlooked when it comes to meeting their unique needs both in academic and social/emotional areas.

Helping students to focus and reduce stress will allow them to succeed in other areas.

It is all about impowering the students to overcome, so they can achieve great things.

My Project

Students need to feel safe and stay focused to learn in class. With the extra stress and anxiety created this past year we need more tools to help students deal with their worries. The materials will be used to create stress/anxiety fidget boxes for students to use to deescalate when they need it.

Every child deserves the resources and tools to cope with stress or anxiety.

To be successful in academic areas, students must first feel emotionally secure. Children will develop negative habits if they are not guided in the right direction.

Students will be able to come to the counselors corner to use the items purchased to help them work through anxiety or stress. They will also be able to take certain items for the day to use when feeling overwhelmed in their classroom.
