My Students

My students have a love of learning, but sometimes they need a little help focusing on the task at hand.

My first graders are a combination of general education students and ASD Nest students.

Our classroom is a warm, friendly place where all the students encourage each other as they learn together. In our classroom we not only work on academics but also on social skills which all children need. We all enjoy learning from each other, all the while appreciating one another's differences.

My Project

The resources that I am requesting, including sensory balls, weighted stuffed animals, and chewy pencil toppers, will help my students with sensory input. The students will be able to use these materials to help them center their bodies which will enable them to focus on their assignments and complete their work. The materials will become part of our quiet area, and the students will be able to select the object that they feel will help them calm their bodies in the most effective way.

The materials from this project will allow my students to independently select the object that they feel will help them calm their bodies when they are feeling overwhelmed.

A calm body along with a calm mind will help my students learn and grow.
