Help me give my students stress balls to promote focus and mental well‑being in our classroom.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Melanie's classroom raised $165
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are bright, curious, and full of energy, but like many young learners, they sometimes struggle with focus and managing emotions. I love their creativity and determination, and I want to help them channel that energy into learning.
This set of slow‑rising stress balls will give them a fun, hands‑on way to release anxiety, improve concentration, and re‑center during lessons.
Whether used during group work, individual study, or moments of frustration, these fidget tools will help them stay calm and engaged. By creating a more relaxed classroom atmosphere, I can support both their academic growth and their emotional well‑being.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
