My Project

I am looking for ways to make my advisory/tutoring hours more welcoming. I think snacks will help students as advisory is before lunch and tutoring is usually during lunch. Students may not always be able to go get food and this is an easy way for them to eat something. Notebooks, stickers, coloring books, fancy markers and games will help set the tone during advisory and tutoring. The stickers are sensory stickers and can be used on their planners or devices. We are there to work, but also everything they need will now be readily available to them. We will have a charging corner so that phones do not need to be out on the desk, rather they can charge when they need.
