Warm Hearts & Transform A Classroom to a Therapeutic Space
Help me give my students fidget toys, coloring books, journals, mental health games, lighting, a new rug, bean bags and room decor to create a warm, inviting counseling space.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sand's classroom raised $528
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
For this proposal, I am requesting fidget toys, coloring books, counseling games, warm lightening, LED lighting, and a warm rug. In order to transform a cold, lifeless, dull classroom into an inviting therapeutic counseling space. I inherited this classroom that will now be utilized for individual counseling, group sessions and crisis management.
My students deserve and need these items and a space that induces calmness, that helps them self-regulate and that creates comfort in time of need.
Additionally, I am requesting colorful pillows and bean bags for a soft landing during these difficult times.
More than three‑quarters 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
