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
As an ESE support facilitation teacher, I am deeply committed to creating an environment that supports the unique needs of my students. Many of these students find it challenging to remain still for extended periods, which can impact their focus, mood, and overall engagement in class. To address this, I am seeking donations to provide quiet, portable walking pads for the classroom.
To support their unique needs and promote their mental health, I am requesting donations for portable walking pads.
These walking pads will provide students with a way to move while working, helping to manage restlessness and maintain focus. By allowing students to walk gently while completing their assignments, we can create a more comfortable and effective learning environment. This approach helps reduce anxiety, improves mood, and increases enthusiasm for class activities, making learning more enjoyable and productive.
My goal is to use these walking pads to enhance students' engagement and well-being, creating a classroom atmosphere that supports their mental health and learning needs. The walking pads will enable them to stay active while remaining focused on their work, promoting a better overall educational experience.
What makes my students special is their incredible resilience and their willingness to tackle challenges head-on. Your support in providing these walking pads will help them thrive academically and emotionally, making a meaningful difference in their lives.
More than half of students from low‑income households
