Wellness Warriors: Empowering Minds, Building Resilience

Help me give my students pillows, stickers, wall decor, journals, and bean bags for our mind-oasis corner.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thurman's classroom raised $279

This project is fully funded

My Project

Within my classroom, I have established an environment that fosters a sense of ease and relaxation for my pupils while they engage in the process of acquiring knowledge. My classroom is adaptable. My students have access to a designated space furnished with a couch, rug, and beanbags where they can relax and regain composure if necessary. I aim to establish a secure environment in our classroom where my students feel valued and certain of their significance.

The mental well-being of teenagers is of utmost importance as it has a profound effect on their general welfare, scholastic achievements, and interpersonal relationships.

Throughout adolescence, teenagers encounter a range of pressures and transformations By prioritizing their mental well-being, they can cultivate resilience, effectively navigate difficulties, and lay the groundwork for a robust and gratifying future. In our Mind-Oasis area, my students will utilize the bean bag to rest and regroup. They will have wall decor with positive words for mental health. The coloring book and mourns will be used to relax and write to their emotions. The stickers will be used to put on binders, folders as a constant reminder their health matters.
