Funded Nov 29, 2022Me and my students have loved getting to use our new resources! Because some of my students have sensory needs, having access to flexible seating options like the wiggle cushions have been a game changer for their ability to focus, learn, and regulate themselves. Sitting on regular chairs all day are hard enough for adults to do all day, so having different options for seating for my active and energetic students is a must.
We also recently held a publishing party in the classroom! Our students got use out of the empty books by drafting, editing, and illustrating their own storybooks. They felt what it is like to be a published author by taking turns sharing and reading from their books to the class. It is a project that my class has been working on for a few months, so getting to see the joy and pride on their faces as they held their new books was priceless!
We have been teaching our students the importance of organization and tidiness within the classroom. By supplying each student with their own pencil case, it makes it much easier for them to practice organizing their desk and see how much it makes a difference in their learning. They spend less time trying to find supplies they may have lost, or looking through their desks for certain items. It is a small, but very significant impact!”
With gratitude,
