This was helpful so that they are comfortable interacting and collaborating with their classmates as they will in life later. \r\n\r\nI'm looking forward to our next chance in class to play some games and practice the Spanish that they've learned in (and out) of class.

These tools support students' mental health by allowing them to take a break and refocus when overwhelmed. Students loved receiving these materials and immediately used them to decompress. Many embraced the opportunity to sketch, doodle, or write as a way to unwind between assignments. Beyond their role in stress relief, students have also integrated these tools into their classwork and projects, using them to practice problems, brainstorm ideas, and refine concepts before putting their best thoughts forward on assignments.\r\n\r\nStickers may seem small, but they can have a significant impact on student morale. A well-placed sticker on a test, assignment, or even a student's desk can serve as meaningful encouragement. For many students, receiving a sticker can turn their entire mood around, acknowledging their effort and progress. Stickers, especially those with motivational quotes, funny cartoons, or bright designs, remind students that their work is valued. This small act of kindness can boost confidence and motivation, helping students remain engaged and optimistic about their learning journey.\r\n\r\nWhen students have access to creative outlets and positive reinforcement, they feel more at ease in the classroom. A stress-free and welcoming environment contributes significantly to their mental well-being. Teachers who incorporate these tools into their daily routines cultivate a space where students can express themselves, take necessary breaks, and receive encouragement. Over time, this approach builds a classroom culture that prioritizes both academic success and emotional well-being. Something as small as a doodle break or a sticker can make a meaningful difference, proving that even simple tools can have a profound impact on student mental health.","fullyFundedDate":1731169243994,"projectUrl":"project/drawing-and-stickers-for-mental-health/8924900/","projectTitle":"Drawing And Stickers for Mental Health","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7759261"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_203","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":481,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":79,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":53,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.0,"schoolId":203,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Central Park East High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Central Park East High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/central-park-east-high-school/203"}
