My Project

All of my students have a desire to learn new things every day. They have a lot of energy, so need help calming their bodies in order to focus their attention on instruction and fall asleep during rest time. Fidget toys will help the students channel their energy into their hands so that they can use their brains to focus on read alouds and direct instruction. Weighted blankets will help the students calm their bodies during rest time so that they are able to fall asleep and regain energy for the afternoon.

By donating to this project, you will help my students to focus their attention on instruction so that they are prepared to enter kindergarten in the fall.

My students are eager to share what they know, new things they have discovered, or how they are experimenting. Giving children tools at a young age to help them learn will lead to further success in their future education.
