Help me give my students the tools they need to feel safe, supported, and emotionally empowered—both in the classroom and beyond.

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
What I love most about my students is their ability to feel deeply, care for one another, and show up every day ready to grow—not just academically, but emotionally. They are learning how to navigate their feelings, build relationships, and develop the self-awareness they need to thrive in and out of the classroom. I admire their honesty, their resilience, and their willingness to try again, even on tough days.
Wellness and social-emotional learning are central to how we build our classroom community.
An iPad would be an essential tool to support this work. It would allow me to introduce calming apps, mindfulness activities, guided breathing videos, and SEL check-ins that help students manage stress, build emotional vocabulary, and reflect on their day. I could also use it to track wellness data, model coping strategies, and create individualized support plans.
Each resource I’ve requested supports the emotional growth of my students and creates a safe, inclusive space where they can be their whole selves. With the help of an iPad, I can better guide students in their social-emotional journey—helping them feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
