My Project

I am K-5 Resource Teacher for students who struggle with ADHD, Dyslexia, and other learning challenges. For many of my students, they need to meet their sensory needs before they can access their learning. A simple wobble to a seat, can calm nerves and provide emotional regulation.

I create enthusiasm and novelty by incorporating curriculum into games.

The bingo and raffle wheel will make learning fun. Students become confident in their skills and gain passion for subject matter when they are successful!

Sensory needs are important! Help me make this happen!

Ms. Zakia
Grades 3-5
