My Students

My students are constantly on the go. They always strive to work together and help each other learn. I am so impressed with their willingness to learn. My students try their best with whatever we give them. I would like to be able to expose them to different types of learning to suit their needs. Each child wants to achieve their goals, it's my job to support them in meeting these goals. They are ready and waiting to soar to success!

My Project

I need alternative seat cushions and sensory toys in order to facilitate my student's needs. Some of my students need bands and seat cushions in order to stay focused during our lessons. Others need to stimulate and touch stress cushions in order to self soothe without disrupting their classmates. With these stress cushions, and the alternative seating cushions, they will be able to stay focused and engaged. This will stimulate their learning and keep them focused and engaged in our lessons. Without these alternatives students bother their friends, become unfocused, lose concentration this can lead to disruptive behavior. I want to give my students positive alternatives, so they can be successful.
