We think that this is an awesome project because it’s for our school. We want to support everyone in our school with mindfulness activities and supplies.
We will use some of the money to fund a Family Engagement Night at our school. We will make glitter jars, a calming tool, on this night and do some mindfulness activities. We will use the rest of the money to buy sensory and calming tools for our school. These include noise cancelling headphones to help us focus when the classroom is noisy. We will also buy wobble pads, stress calming strips, sensory textured pillows, and sensory toys. These will help us to better focus and to work through the times when we have strong emotions. We want as many classrooms as possible to be able to have a Calm Corner. This is a quiet place where these tools will be kept and we can use them when we need them.
It would be helpful for our community to have tools to help us with stress, encourage kindness, and build self-control. This is important so that we can handle stress when we need it. Learning how to use these tools allows us to practice when we are calm. This is our awesome project!
