My Project
In our classroom, we prioritize not only academic success but also the social-emotional well-being of our students. Many children struggle with managing emotions, staying focused, and making positive choices throughout the school day. Having the right tools—such as fidget tubes, a classroom calming kit, and interactive activities like "Match Up Good Choices"—can make a huge difference in helping students develop self-regulation, coping strategies, and decision-making skills.
Fidget tubes provide a quiet and effective way for students to release energy and refocus during lessons.
A classroom calming kit filled with sensory items, breathing exercises, and mindfulness tools can help students manage stress and emotions. Activities like "Match Up Good Choices" teach students how to handle different situations, reinforcing problem-solving and positive behavior.
Unfortunately, many of our students do not have access to these essential tools at home, and purchasing them for the classroom can be costly. That’s why we are reaching out for support! Your generous donation will allow us to create a safe, supportive, and emotionally healthy learning environment where students can thrive.
By contributing, you are giving students the resources they need to build resilience, practice emotional regulation, and make positive choices. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to providing the support our students deserve.
Please consider donating to help us equip our classroom with essential social-emotional learning tools. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on our students’ well-being.
