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
In our kindergarten classroom, we believe that a happy brain is a focused brain! This project is all about giving our students the tools they need to grow strong minds and healthy bodies. Our young learners are full of energy and emotions, and by supporting both their mental health and motor development, we’re helping them build the foundation for lifelong learning success. We are requesting a scooter board set. balls, emotion blocks, and other tools.
We know that kids learn best when their bodies are engaged and their hearts feel safe.
Whether it’s taking a moment to stretch, wiggle out the wiggles, breathe deeply, or simply rest quietly, our goal is to provide opportunities throughout the day for movement and mindfulness. These small but powerful breaks help students develop self-regulation, reduce stress, and stay focused during instruction.
With your help, we’re transforming our classroom into a space where movement meets mindfulness—where students can feel calm, confident, and in control of their learning journey. Every step, stretch, and deep breath is a move toward brighter, stronger futures—and we’re so grateful to have your support along the way!
More than half of students from low‑income households
