You Matter Marathon in the Classroom
Looking to foster a positive and inclusive classroom environment where every student feels valued and supported? Here are some ways you can incorporate YMM into your classroom:
- Distribute You Matter cards: Start the year off right by handing out You Matter cards to your students. Encourage them to personalize them with messages for their classmates, teachers, or even school staff!
- YMM Resources for Teachers: We have a dedicated page on our website with resources specifically designed for educators! This includes a downloadable guide packed with additional classroom activities and tips.
- Bring the Message to Life: I’d be thrilled to discuss the You Matter Marathon program further and answer any questions you might have. I’m happy to schedule a quick 15-minute Zoom call with your entire classroom to explore the concept of “mattering” and brainstorm ways to spread kindness within your school community.
Supporting Teachers with Teacher Wishlist Finder
Teachers play a crucial role in shaping young minds, and often go above and beyond to create enriching learning environments. Did you know that many teachers spend their own money on classroom supplies? This is where the amazing Teacher Wishlist Finder comes in. This platform allows teachers to upload their Amazon Wishlist, making it easy for parents and donors to support specific needs. From basic supplies like markers and notebooks to engaging educational tools, even a small contribution can make a world of difference. So, take a moment today to search for a teacher in your area and see how you can help!
Together, Let’s Make it a Great Year!
National Back-to-School Prep Day is more than just about pencils and notebooks. It’s about creating a positive and supportive environment for everyone involved in the learning journey. By spreading kindness with You Matter cards and supporting teachers through Wishlist Finder, we can set the stage for a fantastic school year.
