My Project

Students will use headphones for iPads to encourage focus and assist them in accessing individual learning. My goal is for every student to have their own headphones to use throughout the school year. I'd like to use the liquid calmers for my calming corner. The timers will support students when they need breaks or need to know how much time we have to end activities.

My students are an energetic bunch with diverse learning needs.

All items included will support them in creating an inclusive and calm environment.

We hope that with these new headphones, calming supports, and timers, students will be able to reach learning goals and achieve success in learning this year.
