My Project

My students are independent, eager learners who are in my district's Computer Science Virtual Academy. My class consists of 33 9th graders who are learning multiple subjects. My students face barriers that include low-income backgrounds and socio-emotional needs.

Since we are in a virtual setting, I'd like to create "Calming" packages.

I've requested materials that my students can access when they need a break from class. The materials will be packaged in bins so students can access them easily and keep them organized. My students will greatly benefit from these "calming packages" because they'll be accessible and engaging.
