My Project

My students are a small group of learners with various emotional challenges that impact their ability to learn in a traditional classroom setting. While my students are bright and unique, they require innovation and patients to help them reach their best version of themselves. They want to be accepted by their peers, cared for by trusted adults, and valued in their communities. The traditional school environment does not always accommodate those needs, and as a vested educator, I am requesting classroom supplies, such as fidget cubes and mental health posters, to make my students feel like school is essential and not only can they learn from their experiences in the school, but they can shape the way we teach others with similar needs.
